When serious illness touches your life, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and emotionally exhausted. You deserve support that is steady, compassionate, and grounded in experience. With over 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I provide thoughtful care to individuals and families facing complex medical challenges. I specialize in supporting people living with cancer, sickle cell disease, HIV, and neurofibromatosis type 1, as well as caregivers, especially parents of children with RASopathies.
Medical journeys often bring pain, anxiety, and difficult decisions. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you manage stress, navigate treatment, and restore balance in your life. I use evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy, to help clients move forward with clarity and purpose.
I believe people are naturally resilient, and with the right support, meaningful change is possible. Whether you are managing your own health condition or supporting a loved one, you do not have to do it alone. Together, we can work toward restoring strength, stability, and hope. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk about your needs.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) within a supportive, client-centered approach. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and what matters most to you. ACT helps you relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, so you can move forward with greater clarity, flexibility, and purpose.
