Or are you navigating chronic illness, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, or the effects of adversity?
I believe in meeting people where they are. Therapy should be tailored to the person—not the diagnosis, relationship structure, or expectations of others. I use a collaborative, solution-focused and trauma-informed approach, incorporating CBT, attachment-based, person-centered, Gottman, motivational interviewing, and other approaches as appropriate.

I also have a special interest in supporting individuals living with chronic illness with lived experience myself, recognizing the ways that physical health can impact emotional well-being, relationships, identity, and everyday life.
My approach is grounded in holistic, trauma-informed care, taking into consideration the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, relational, and environmental well-being. I incorporate somatic therapeutic approaches to help clients develop greater awareness of the mind-body connection and build a stronger sense of safety and connection within themselves.

I believe wholeheartedly that attending to & prioritizing our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health. Every person will inevitably experience pain, disappointment, & hardship in life, & these struggles can sometimes take a toll on our mind, body, & emotions. My goal as a therapist is to create a warm, supportive, & non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe enough to be vulnerable & process these experiences and emotions.Working as a team, I seek to help clients build the resiliency to cope with the situations we cannot change as well as the confidence to take on life’s challenges as they occur.

Life can feel especially heavy during times of change, like starting a new job, going back to school, moving, or navigating shifting relationships. And in a world that often feels uncertain and overwhelming, it’s no wonder so many people are carrying more than they know how to hold. When anxiety, depression, past trauma, or chronic stress are part of the picture, that weight can feel even harder to manage. Therapy can offer a space to breathe, reflect, and begin to feel more grounded. I’m here to help with that process.

Living with chronic illness or pain can create a complex emotional and physical experience, and I work alongside clients to explore and manage the impact it has on their lives.
I believe in the power of attachment and the deep impact it has on our relationships, sense of self, and emotional well-being. For adult children of emotionally immature parents, I offer a space to process the effects of those relationships and break free from unhealthy patterns. By using family systems theory, we explore the dynamics that shaped your upbringing and help you create healthier connections moving forward. I support those navigating trauma, whether related to past experiences or ongoing struggles with identity, and understand the challenges that arise for individuals who are neurodiverse.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, integrative, and person-centered. I believe that a therapeutic relationship should be a collaborative one in which you and I work together to discover creative strategies, solutions and, even humorous insights to help you reach your goals. My role is to be there to guide you, encourage you, maybe even challenge you if I feel you are unknowingly allowing obstacles to stand in your way. I work from a strengths-based perspective and believe that when given the proper tools, everyone has the ability to grow, to change and to succeed.

Are you an adult who is tired of not being understood?
You've probably spent a lot of time trying to get people to understand what you're dealing with — doctors who dismiss you, people in your life who don't quite get it, maybe even therapists who haven't been the right fit. That gets exhausting.
I work with adults navigating chronic and invisible illness, trauma, and the kind of life complexity that doesn't resolve on anyone else's timeline. I bring over 20 years of clinical experience to this work — and a personal understanding of what it means to live with a body that doesn't always cooperate.

I work with individuals navigating a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, complex trauma, current or past abuse, life transitions, relational struggles, grief, chronic illness, and faith exploration.
I draw from various therapeutic modalities, incorporating elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), while tailoring my approach to each individual client with a goal of building healthier connection with others.

If you’re seeking support and thinking, "Life has been good. Shouldn’t I be happy?" - you’re not alone. I’ve heard these words from clients countless times. Other clients find me because they know exactly the harms that bring them in - some for the first time, others wondering “Why is this bothering me again?” The stress of trauma (and every-day tension) can escalate when a medical issue arises for your or a loved one. Chronic stress can also show up as medical vulnerability. With decades of training and working alongside medical professionals, I am always honored to support clinicians to tend to their own health and well-being.

Chronic Illness Therapists
How does therapy for chronic illness work?
Many people living with a chronic illness may feel they cannot speak honestly about their experience out of embarrassment or fear of being a burden, or because those close to them do not understand, for example, that they may “look good” even if they do not feel good. Therapy sessions are an opportunity to speak openly with someone who knows their symptoms are not in their head and who can offer practical, proven suggestions for managing feelings of grief, shame, or fatigue, such as techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts about symptoms and develop new ways to respond to them, such as distraction or calming breathing practices.
Can therapy help with physical symptoms of chronic illness?
Yes, especially if an individual with chronic illness has developed depression. People with depression are less likely to maintain their health treatment regimens or to take positive steps to manage physical symptoms when they arise, thereby potentially complicating their medical prognosis. Treatment of depression, through talk therapy, medication, or both, will often improve one’s physical state as it eases the emotional burden of illness.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic illness?
No one living with a chronic illness, or their loved ones, should see depression as an unavoidable result of their condition. Instead, they should actively seek treatment. Research shows that people with depression are less likely to devote the required time and effort to maintaining or monitoring their health, and so therapy to limit the risk of depression can be vital for physical health as well. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction have been found to help individuals reduce stress and anxiety.
How long does therapy for chronic illness take?
There is no set timeline for therapy for people living with chronic illnesses, but many will see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 weekly sessions. Some people feel that they experience progress faster than others but even some who quickly feel improvement may continue with sessions for months or years. Some people may benefit from maintenance therapy if their symptoms change or they experience a decline in physical health. Others find that the skills learned in short-term therapy can be used on an ongoing basis, even after therapy has concluded.
