My ideal client is someone who is struggling with physical symptoms as well as anxiety and depression and trying to navigate the world trying to "look OK" when they don't feel that way. I help people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired live their best lives, assertively communicate and follow through with their boundaries, and cope with symptoms that require accommodation without apologies.
I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience specializing in therapy for the emotional complexities of chronic illness, chronic pain, and medical uncertainty. My practice is built on the belief that you deserve support that understands what it's like to have your life reshaped by health challenges.
Your time and energy are limited, and it is my goal to make what resources you spend with me are worth it. Let's schedule a 20-minute phone meeting to see if I can help. If I'm not a good fit for you, I'll try to find someone who might be.

"
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy models into my practice as well as the use of exposure and communication skills. What comes into play depends on the person I am working with as I find a one-size-fits-all model does not work when it comes to coping with chronic issues.
