I believe that all individuals have the capacity to heal, change, and grow. Life is complex and demanding, no matter what age or season one is in. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing, repair and growth occurs when we feel understood and supported while exploring the deeper issues that shape our lives. There are also times in life when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or have perplexing anxiety that seems to have no root cause.
I help clients address and navigate these challenges, focusing on healing and growth that allows for lasting change.

Feeling distant or stuck in your relationship? Maybe trust has been broken, or every conversation seems to turn into an argument.

I also work with individuals damaged by depression, anxiety or trauma. In my Brentwood office or by tele-health, sessions can usually begin in one week with evening and weekend availability.

Another sleepless night kept awake either by nightmares, haunting images from the past, or memories that you can’t push away? You’ve tried almost everything to keep the past in the past, but no matter what, the past keeps showing up in all the reminders around you. The traumatic event(s) were awful enough, reliving them over again in your mind and body just seems unusually cruel. You’ve tried keeping up appearances at work, around family, but the more you try, the more disconnected you feel. As time moves on, you keep wondering if there’s something wrong with "you" that you can’t just “get over” them.

Waitlist for new clients
MEN - We juggle a lot: work, school, relationships, kids, health, stress, you name, and those things aren’t supposed to bother us. For a time, we can handle just about anything thrown at us. That is until we can't! The facade will crumble; our masks will crack; it's just a matter of time. At least that's my story! How about you? We look one way, feel another, all while stuffing what's really going on deep down and out of sight. We begin to unravel and that’s when we turn to things that help us numb, check-out and regulate. In retrospect, those things worked well...for a time! But now they're just causing us problems and heartache.

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.
