Therapy allows me to work with people from all walks of life. My experience has led me to working with people who have experienced medical trauma and grief. I have spent many years helping people with chronic illness find ways to create meaning and satisfaction in their life.I also work with people who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress, and many other life challenges. Anyone who wants to find a balance between their emotional and physical health to be the best version of themselves. From self improvement to coping with life threatening illness, I enjoy clients who want to grow emotionally.
With my background in Oncology and Palliative Care, I am comfortable with navigating difficult conversations and life choices. Grief, loss, anxiety, depression are all difficult emotions. I want to create a safe space for you to be able to talk openly so that together we can help you learn the best ways to cope and find relief.
Each person has a unique story and unique needs. I feel I can offer a safe place to process issues of our complex world and provide practical guidance for resilience.

I work with clients experiencing grief of all types as well as those struggling to recover from trauma, depression, and anxiety. In session, I want to create a safe space to explore the emotions and work toward finding ways to help you find some sense of new normalcy in your life. Most of my clients feel relief from many of their symptoms within the first few weeks.
