About My Clients
The world can feel overwhelming, especially in a world where life and work is in flux. How do you adjust to changes outside of your control? Are you struggling with unwanted thoughts, feelings, or ideas? Is anxiety or depression taking over your thoughts so much you’re not sure what would be left in your head if it fell silent? This practice is welcoming to members of the LGBTQIA community.
My Background and Approach
As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the emotional and psychological challenges that accompany chronic illness, pain, and medical conditions. My approach blends traditional psychotherapy with mindfulness-based interventions, meditation, and somatic awareness to foster resilience, self-compassion, and holistic well-being. Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, grief, or the stress of a medical diagnosis, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore healing—both mentally and physically. My work is rooted in mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mind-body techniques to help you cultivate presence, reduce suffering, and reclaim agency over your health and life. If you're seeking a therapist who understands the intersection of psychology and medicine—and values the power of mindfulness in healing—I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work toward greater peace, acceptance, and vitality.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
At the heart of my work is deep respect for each individual’s unique journey. Suffering—whether physical, emotional, or existential—is a universal human experience, yet so is the potential for healing. I meet my clients with warmth, curiosity, and non-judgment, because true change begins in a space of safety and acceptance. Mindfulness and meditation are not just tools, but profound invitations to reconnect with the present moment. I’ve seen how this practice can soften the grip of anxiety, chronic pain, and self-criticism, allowing for greater peace and clarity. Emotional pain and physical health are deeply intertwined. My work is shaped by the understanding that stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotions live not just in the mind, but in the body. As someone who has suffered with chronic pain for decades, I understand the day to day struggles of managing even on "good pain" days. I see myself as a guide, not an authority, and I trust in each person’s ability to find their path.
