At the core of my work is the belief that healing begins in the context of a safe and supportive relationship. I prioritize creating a trauma informed therapeutic space - one that honors your story, centers your voices, and supports you in showing up as your full, authentic self.
I recognize that our individual experiences are shaped not only by personal history, but also by the broader systems we live within - systems that include oppression, marginalization, and inequality. I approach therapy with an awareness of how our identities and experiences within our environments intersect with mental health.

I live and practice by a radical notion: Being heard by another heals us, not just emotionally but intellectually and physically as well. “Heard” isn't simply conversing with peers, sharing memories with loved ones, or listening to a friend’s embarrassing anecdote. Being heard is to be recognized and validated, not just verbally but through another’s objective presence: “I see you. I hear you. I am holding this space just for you, not in spite of what you think of as failures or short-comings rather, because of your innate, complicated humanity with all its joy and sorrow, glory and shame, accomplishment and frustration.

I treat adults in life transitions, who are in grief, or have suffered trauma, depression, and anxiety. I help couples to get beneath their patterns of relating to the deeper needs they often have trouble expressing. Most my patients seek relief so they feel better about themselves and their most important relationships. My patients are challenged to learn more about who they are and how they operate so they can grow and develop. When they enter therapy with me I offer what I believe is a trusted alliance. I think that alliance is a critical piece of the therapeutic process so they feel supported and able to achieve their goals.

Cancer Therapists
How does cancer affect mental health?
A cancer diagnosis is a major life event that can significantly influence the mental health of any individual. Being diagnosed with cancer often introduces a sense of uncertainty about the future, which can cause clients to experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and significant distress. Many cancer patients may also worry about the toll that their diagnosis may have on their family, their physical health, their job, and their financial situation. The compounding of such stressors can also decrease mental health in clients and may lead to additional symptoms that can influence mental health, such as sleeping difficulties or social withdrawal.
What is the best psychological therapy for cancer patients?
The best type of psychological therapy for cancer patients is highly dependent on the needs of the individual. The therapy type that a client benefits from may also depend on what stage of the cancer journey they are in. Recently diagnosed cancer patients, for instance, may benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which can help clients develop skills to manage the emotional distress that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Alternatively, cancer patients further along in their journey may benefit from therapies like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or other forms of mindfulness therapy to help manage symptoms or physical pain associated with treatment. Clients may also consider group therapy, which offers cancer patients an opportunity to receive support from other individuals dealing with a cancer diagnosis.
Are there any risks or drawbacks in going to therapy while dealing with cancer?
Although attending therapy while dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be helpful, one major concern for cancer patients can be the financial cost of seeking therapy. Many therapists are out-of-network, meaning they do not accept insurance, and thus clients are expected to pay the entirety of the session fee. Since many cancer patients may be out of work as a result of their diagnosis or cancer treatment regimen, the costs of therapy sessions can be substantial. Luckily, many cancer centers and local clinics may offer free or substantially reduced-cost counseling services to cancer patients and their families. In addition, cancer patients may be eligible for grants or other forms of funding from local agencies and nonprofits to seek therapy for their cancer diagnosis. Such opportunities can be very helpful for cancer patients, as they allow clients to obtain the benefits of therapy without the financial strain.
How long does cancer therapy typically last?
The length of cancer therapy depends on the needs of each client. In some cases, cancer patients may only require therapeutic support during the period following their initial diagnosis—to help manage the uncertainty and shock of a cancer diagnosis. In other cases, clients may choose to receive therapy throughout their treatment, and even following, their cancer journey. Pursuing therapy for a longer period of time can help clients develop a deeper relationship with their therapist and provide opportunity to process the challenges presented by cancer treatment, such as physical pain, and challenges associated with cancer survivorship, such as ongoing identity concerns, physical limitations, or relationship challenges.
