Life can present unexpected overwhelming challenges and you don't have to face them alone. My specialty is offering compassionate support through grief, loss, and health crises like cancer. For two decades, I have supported clients using proven strategies to help them navigate their darkest times. My process begins with listening - I will take the time to understand you. Together, we can work to restore your sense of control and help you discover a life that feels worth living.
In our first session, we will identify your specific concerns and collaboratively develop a plan for progress. We will then check in regularly to ensure you feel heard and understood, adjusting our approach as needed. Our shared goal is to help you get unstuck and move effectively toward what is most important to you.
Ready to get started? I offer a free phone consultation to discuss how we can work together. Email me, and I will personally get back to you within 24-48 business hours to set up a time. I see clients both in my private office at Carlmont Village Shopping Center and online. Take a step to help yourself, your mental health is too important to wait.

I support clients struggling with grief, loss, cancer and working through life transitions. Our work together involves learning skills to unhook from difficult thoughts and feelings, reducing their impact so they can't jerk you around or hold you back. It also involves clarifying your values: finding out what truly matters most to you and moving towards those values to have a life worth living.

As a therapist I'm a supportive and collaborative partner not just an observer. I believe in your resilience and ability to overcome challenges. I am genuinely interested in understanding your unique perspective to help you gain self-awareness.
