I approach psychotherapy with the philosophy that individuals can find meaning & thrive even amidst life’s most challenging chapters. I am passionate about supporting those facing medical challenges to help them improve their quality of life & regain a sense of purpose & empowerment in the face of health adversity. Difficulties may manifest as an unrelenting pain that robs you of the ability to be present or experience joy, a brain injury that seems to have shifted your sense of identity & self-worth or feeling as though a GI condition has imposed rigid rules & accompanying fears that interfere with living life on your own terms.
Understanding debilitating anxiety, I am also dedicated to alleviating the pangs of the chronic “what ifs,” crippling self-doubt & physical unease that accompany a constantly worrying mind. We will work together to foster greater calm in the mind & body, gain clarity on what truly matters to you & work through psychological barriers that impede your goals.
I integrate principles from cognitive behavioral, acceptance based, mindfulness & existential therapies into our work; often incorporating a touch of humor. I aim to serve as an emotional anchor & support you in enhancing self-trust, cultivating internal safety & let go of self-doubt. If the above resonates, please reach out for a complimentary consultation!
