Life is about living, not coping or managing symptoms. That is my mission: to help people get unstuck so they can live life again. I enjoy teaching individuals about psychology, the science behind it, and how it can help you live more fully. I tailor effective psychology treatments to each person’s unique needs. With intentional listening, I incorporate psychology, education, and skills into each conversation. I especially enjoy working with people who have complex health concerns or who have felt dismissed or judged in medical settings.
People who benefit from working with me are often juggling health and life while distressing physical symptoms hold them back. I am direct and straightforward in my style. I enjoy working with chronic pain, primary pain disorder, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, headaches, migraines, and Disorders of the Gut Brain Interaction.
I work in Pediatric Psychology and Health Psychology, drawing from CBT, ACT, clinical hypnosis, and biofeedback. I help clients retrain the nervous system, improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and focus on values so they can feel calmer, more present, and more engaged in daily life. I look forward to helping you reclaim a fuller, calmer, more meaningful life.
