I take a whole body approach to health and illness with a focus on how the mind influences the body just as the body influences the mind. Anxiety, depression, and stress can impact health and exacerbate chronic pain, heart disease, insomnia, and other medical problems. However, addressing the emotional aspects of medical conditions can improve quality of life and physical health. Also, psychological principles can help enhance wellness and lead to lasting behavioral changes. As a health psychologist, I can help you emotionally cope with medical conditions, make healthy lifestyle choices, and learn skills to move forward with your life.

Are you finding yourself withdrawing from life, anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed? Trouble connecting with your spouse, children, family, or friends?

I strive to create an accepting and nurturing environment that allows clients to find relief to their stress, forgive themselves and others, and learn how to build and maintain successful relationships. We will work together in order to help each client become the best version of themselves.
