Hi! I'm Meredith. It's nice to meet you, thank you for being here. I am passionate about supporting my clients through life's many challenges such as receiving a new medical diagnosis, coping with a chronic illness, shifting to a caregiver role or grieving the death of a loved one. My practice offers a safe and affirming therapeutic space for you to learn and grow. I collaborate with you to tailor treatment to your individual needs and view our time together as a shared endeavor to help you achieve your goals. As a Certified Case Manager I can also assist with healthcare-related documents and resource referrals.
I specialize in working with adults and older adults coping with cancer or chronic illness. Additionally, I am experienced in supporting adults and older adults through life transitions, aging and grief. I am skilled in navigating the complex medical system and can help foster collaboration and communication with your medical treatment team.
Whatever difficulties you might be facing, please know you don't have to do it alone. You can contact me here or through my website to see how I can help- I look forward to hearing from you!
