I meet you where you are—without judgment or expectation. Therapy with me is tailored to your needs, blending practical tools with deeper exploration. I use techniques to help you feel better quickly, along with approaches to uncover patterns and create lasting change. I specialize in supporting women with chronic illness and co-occurring mental health challenges, honoring the toll illness takes on body, mind, and spirit. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space for your healing. This is your healing journey, I’m here to walk beside you as you create a life you want to live.

Living with chronic illness while also facing mental health challenges can feel overwhelming—not just for your body, but for your mind and spirit too. In therapy, you’ll find a space where your experience is understood and honored. Together, we’ll explore what’s truly possible and what you most want for your life.

Beginning therapy and sharing your difficulties, fears, dreams and desires is challenging. I focus on providing a warm and safe therapeutic environment so you can be yourself. It is your healing journey; therefore, I focus on what you need to have the kind of life you want to live. Contact me for a 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Therapy is customized for you. Generally, I work from an existential framework to understand what is going on, i.e. what is meaningful to you and to make a therapy plan. I can employ a variety of approaches to help clients. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to address current issues. I also employ psychodynamic approaches to help you understand why you find yourself in repeating patterns.
