I believe that therapy is about choosing to live well and learning how to use your emotions as your allies in the midst of adversity. I have worked in various settings including family shelters, Hospice bereavement, hospital oncology, schools, community mental health clinics, as well as on-and-offsite mental health support for First Responders following natural disasters and traumatic events. I specialize in working with adults impacted by cancer, end-of-life/terminal illness,pain/illness, life transitions due to trauma, grief and loss, chronic anxiety, depression, adjustment concerns, and changes in roles and relationships.
In our work together, we will identify barriers, develop goals based on your values, and focus on creating a pathway to a more vital life. I believe therapy can be a place of healing, support, and unconditional acceptance. I also believe that within that space should be laughter, creativity, meaning, and joy. We won't forget to process the joy as well.
If you're thinking about starting therapy, know that it's okay to take that step at your own pace. You deserve support, healing, and a space to be heard. I provide tele-therapy services only at this time so I encourage you to reach out if you have further questions about engaging in online counseling. Thank you for stopping by.
