Living with a chronic health condition or pain can be overwhelming, scary, and confusing. At times you don't recognize yourself anymore, and you wonder what new limitations the day might bring. You know these struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone...that no one understands. Right now, you have more questions than answers, but you know you'd do anything to get your life back. The roller coaster of doctor visits, medication changes, and emotions is becoming too much and you're ready to get off the roller coaster and feel grounded again.
Whether your struggle is due to ongoing health concerns, current or past trauma, or simply overwhelming stress, I understand the unique path that each person walks as they navigate these challenges. Using proven therapy approaches, such as EMDR and ART, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and holistic approaches, I can help you reclaim your life.
I offer both office-based & online counseling options based on your level of comfort and need. I feature a streamlined online intake process, as well as a convenient client portal for secure scheduling and communication. My practice is LGBTQ+ allied and welcoming to all religious faiths and backgrounds. You are valued and respected here.
