About Pam
Her work is grounded in a warm, trusting relationship. She partners with clients to set clear goals and actionable steps. Sessions focus on understanding the problem, developing skills, and trying small changes between meetings.

Over her career she has supported people affected by addiction and those who care for someone with addiction. She also helps with family of origin matters, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, and relationship difficulties.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their goals so they can take steps that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic events through careful, paced work that reduces symptoms and improves daily coping.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Pam will work with the client to identify goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as needs change, so the work stays practical and focused on measurable steps.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow for a quicker check-in when schedules are tight. It also lets clients practice new skills in real-life settings between appointments, then bring observations back to the sessions for review and revision.
