I provide treatment for general mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, as well as interventions for health behavior change for concerns such as insomnia, pain, smoking cessation and chronic illness.
Each person brings to therapy a unique life story that deserves to be heard in a trusting and respectful environment. We will spend the first sessions gaining an understanding of who you are and what brings you to therapy. Together, we will develop a tailored plan with realistic goals that address your specific needs and desires. We will move through the sessions at a pace that feels safe and meaningful and we will build a therapeutic collaboration that enables us to explore your thoughts and feelings with nonjudgmental curiosity and kind openness to your life experiences.

I also work with clients to address a variety of issues, like grief and loss, addictions, coping skills, chronic illness, marriage issues, etc.
I am passionate about helping clients explore the disparity between where they are now and where they want to be with their desired goals in life.

I subscribe to the core values of trust, respect, empathy, warmth, and genuineness, which have been shown to elicit insight, healing, change, and growth in clients.

I work with adults and older adolescents (18+) who are coping with a wide variety of life challenges including depression, anxiety, acute or chronic illness, physical pain, caregiver stress, sleep difficulties, relationship strain, divorce, trauma, role changes, life transitions, grief and loss.

Other areas of focus include chronic illness, medical trauma, and managing grief and isolation.
Being a person can be hard. Living a life that best suits you as an individual is a work in progress. Along the way, there are undoubtedly challenges. Sometimes, our experiences leave us confused, overwhelmed, and in need of some support. As a therapist, my role is to help understand where you’ve been, where you’d like to go, and help you get there. It’s possible to move from getting by to feeling you have agency over your own life and choices. I specialize in working with challenging life events such as trauma, major life changes, relationship distress, and chronic illnesses. I also work with C-PTSD and Narcissistic Abuse recovery.

I have over 19 years of experience working with individuals and families facing chronic illness, cancer, perinatal/postnatal issues, grief and loss, and major life transitions.
In my 19 years of working with people facing serious illness and cancer, I’ve walked with individuals and families of all ages and backgrounds through some of the most challenging and vulnerable times in their lives. I help people find their way through life changes, functional changes, relationship challenges, job changes, grief/loss, anxiety and depression. Watching people discover their strength and resilience during life's difficult moments inspires me each day.

While I work with people seeking therapy for a variety of reasons, my specialties include mood disorders, relationship issues, and chronic illness/pain disorders.
With a focus on self-empowerment, I can help you increase your attention to the present moment, and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment. This mindfulness practice allows you to become more connected to yourself and your environment, often resulting in gaining new confidence and identifying new solutions.

My practice is dedicated to working with young adults-older adults who are living with stress related to life transitions, complex chronic illness (including Parkinson's, Movement Disorders, TBI, Stroke, Epilepsy, MS, ADHD, and other neurological conditions), as well as with caregivers, medical providers, and allied professionals who serve these populations.
Asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do, but it can also be one of the hardest because of past experience of not being heard, believed, or supported. Extreme stressors, life transitions, and traumatic events - including new or ongoing health conditions - affect every aspect of our lives and can make relationships - with family, friends, colleagues, and even healthcare providers - very challenging. The impact of these events can make us feel isolated, misunderstood, and unsupported (even by the well-intentioned). They can also lead us to make choices we aren't proud of and limit our enjoyment of life in general.

I work with adults who are living with chronic pain and chronic illness and experiencing distress (common diagnoses include but are not limited to: fibromyalgia, back/neck pain, headaches/migraines, IBS, functional neurological disorders, Ehlers Danlos syndrome, pelvic pain, cancer, arthritis, lupus, crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and parkinson's disease)
Living with chronic pain is exhausting. Endless doctors appointments, procedures, and medications can leave you feeling hopeless and frustrated when the pain hasn’t changed much. Perhaps your life has changed significantly because of the pain and symptoms or maybe you are just pushing through each day and then spending any free time trying to rest and recharge to do it all again the next day. The cycle feels endless, but it CAN change. We are often so focused on finding a solution for physical pain and symptoms in the body that we forget that our brain and body are connected 100% of the time.
