Are you navigating the emotional toll of chronic illness and feel like you’re falling behind or missing out because of your health? Do you feel disconnected from others—caught in fears of being judged or misunderstood? You’re not alone. I specialize in working with chronic illness, pain, and social anxiety, with a special interest in supporting young adults.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I bring both professional training and lived experience with chronic illness into my work. I understand what it’s like to feel stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, or disconnected from the life you want to live.
Together, we’ll explore the areas in your life that feel out of alignment, and help you move toward greater sense of ease and authenticity. I bring warmth, humor, and a down-to-earth approach to my work. You can expect a collaborative, trusting space that honors who you are—including the unique experiences, identities, and traits that shape you.
My approach combines psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT), all within a neurodiversity-affirming lens. You’ll also gain practical tools to manage anxiety and reconnect with what really matters to you. Most of all, I’m here to hold space for you- you are worth being seen, supported and empowered.
