Connecting with the right therapist is critical when starting your therapeutic journey. I provide free consultations to potential clients, ensuring they feel confident when committing to their therapeutic journey. I specialize in working with patients and families who experience Chronic Illness and Pain. As a chronic illness patient and therapist, I recognize the unique and personal journey clients experience. I understand the obstacles, stigma, and barriers my clients face as they work on building their quality of life.
Helping clients reach and maintain an improved quality of life, I work with clients on processing anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma experienced from managing a chronic illness. I am patient-centered, helping clients move forward and creating a new sense of self, helping clients move forward in their health journey and quality of life.
Through a therapeutic relationship and collaborative partnership, we work together to help you unlock your potential and overcome barriers. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we develop a personalized pain plan to help you reach your goals, develop a level of acceptance, and assist with creating a life that you enjoy.

Chronic Pain is a personal and individualized experience. I work with clients to discover the strategies and techniques that they feel are the most effective for them. Therapeutic strategies used will reduce client pain flares, assist clients with processing their pain experience, and build skills in advocacy and communication with medical professionals.
