About My Clients

I work with adults and older adults who are struggling with health, feeling disconnected from life, or who are feeling out of control. I am flexible in my interventions and techniques based on what you need.

My Background and Approach

My background training and experience is in geropsychology (psychology of aging), hospice/palliative care, neuropsychology, chronic pain and medical illnesses, and functional neurological disorders. I use a variety of techniques tailored to the needs and preferences of my clients, but I tend to reach for existential, meaning-centered, acceptance based, and body-focused methods the most.
