I have over ten years of experience supporting older adults, adults, transitional youth, and teens.
Starting therapy, or starting with a new therapist, is a vulnerable choice and a radical act. I'm excited that you are making the conscious choice to focus on you. I have a relational and integrative approach that relies on our sessions being a place to express yourself fully and try on new ways of being. Therapy shows us how to sit with discomfort, so we can make self-led decisions about the life we want to live. Identifying coping skills to regulate your nervous system in these moments allow you to live proactively, rather than reactively. Life's wisdom is already within you.

I am passionate about helping clients understand their cognitive changes and cope after a diagnosis such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, stroke, aphasia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), cancer/chemotherapy, and other forms of dementia.
Have you and your partner been frustrated by having the same argument over and over again? Are you struggling to cope with anxiety, life transitions, or feeling overwhelmed by the stress of current events? Do you get triggered by things in your environment that remind you of a stressful past event? If this sounds like you, then you have come to the right place. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgemental. I strive to help clients utilize their strengths and improve their coping using evidence-based practices.

I am nationally board certified in palliative care and work with people experiencing many different types of health concerns (e.g. cancer, stroke, ALS, Parkinsons, dementia, MS, MD, heart or lung disease, injury) as well as with loved ones.
As either a patient or caregiver, coping with illness, injury, disability, or medical trauma can be quite the challenge. It forever affects how we view ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, and how our lives were “supposed” to go. These experiences are also impacted by everything else we have been through in our lives. Each of us will inevitably experience being a care-giver or a care-recipient, and specialized therapeutic support can help you navigate the specific difficulties that illness or any health issues present. At any age, stage, or severity of illness or injury, cultivating resilience is possible. You aren't alone.
