I’m currently accepting new clients from MD for online sessions, with set slots and flexibility week to week. Because of my own life experience (HI, MTHFR, MCAS, mold poisoning), I work with people with chronic illness. So many of us have been medically gaslit and even shamed for the way our own bodies work, and of course this affects our mental health! I take a holistic, integrative, and functional approach to mental health, recognizing that our well-being is shaped by biological, psychological, environmental, spiritual, and cultural influences. My clients are seekers who want to heal, and they are looking for someone to walk with.
I offer solution-focused therapy with a sense of humor. We WILL laugh in session, sometimes in spite of the tears. I use CBT, REBT, somatic and parts work, along with spiritual, existential, and strengths-based approaches—all focused on integrative and holistic approaches. My goal is that you leave sessions feeling more hopeful than when you started.
I use my experience as a therapist, educator, and researcher to help my clients to understand and process their life experiences and live happy and healed lives. We all struggle, but we can also all heal! I would be honored to work with you when you are ready to start your healing journey!
