Living with a chronic health condition, can be overwhelming and isolating. The stress and anxiety that accompany physical illness can deeply impact your quality of life. Counseling can help you manage the emotional toll of illness and help you develop coping skills to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.
Chronic illness doesn't define you but it does change you. If you are ready to explore therapy that addresses the complex interplay between physical and emotional health, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.
I offer therapy to adults and families. I am open minded, knowledgeable and caring. As an RN and Certified Diabetes Education Specialist I have the skills to help people who are struggling with the psychological responses that accompany living with diabetes. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a deep understanding of the mind-body connection.
My approach to psychotherapy is individualized for every client that I see. It is my goal to offer a supportive and non-judgmental environment in which you will feel safe and accepted. I will work with you to better understand the obstacles that hinder you and help you find the means to live a happier and more fulfilling life.
