I take a whole-person approach to therapy, recognizing that emotional well-being is deeply connected to physical health, family systems, spirituality, and the broader cultural stories we live within. My experience in integrated healthcare settings has allowed me to work alongside physicians and other professionals to provide collaborative, comprehensive care. I have supported children, adults, and older adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, insomnia, and neurodivergence.

I help individuals, couples, and families navigate difficult transitions and emotional pain—especially around grief, relationship distress, postpartum adjustment, anxiety, and family stress.
For couples, this often looks like helping partners reconnect when communication feels strained or distance has grown between them. For individuals, it may involve processing loss, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to find steadiness during major life changes.

A core tenet of my practice is that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to counseling, and that a “good fit” between a patient and therapist is most important. To that end, I strive to maintain both a flexible approach and interpersonal style. I also try to be flexible when defining treatment “success”, understanding that our perception of a successful outcome may change during therapy, as we change and grow during therapy.

My clients are often those keenly aware of the complex time we live in, and are interested to understand what is keeping them from having the vibrant life they seek. You are doing "all the right things," and yet you continue to feel unfulfilled, anxious - in your relationships, sex life, in your work. You might feel stuck creatively. You feel distant, or at odds with your physical body. You'd like to know your story more fully, to understand how past experiences and cultural conditioning have impacted you, and to give your story voice, so you can express yourself - in relationships, work, art - from a place of deeper authenticity.

Do you feel stuck, confused, and alone in your relationship? Maybe you keep having the same arguments with no real resolution. No matter how careful you are, things always seem to escalate. Avoiding conflict feels easier than speaking up. Before long, you don’t feel like lovers anymore, just roommates. You’ve tried hard to make things better. You’ve read the books. You’ve tried fewer words—and even more words. Yet nothing seems to help. It all feels frustrating and confusing. And yet, you still care. You love your person and miss the connection you once had. You miss feeling like a team and want your partner back by your side.

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.
