About My Clients

Do you feel overwhelmed trying to cope with your medical illness (es), in addition to daily life? Are you struggling to figure out how to live life with hope when you are starting each day with pain, physical challenges, and the uncertainty of your health? When I work with clients facing these struggles, we work together to free them from the grips of grief, anger, sadness, and worry. Therapy will help you attain the tools and perspective to regain a life with hope, joy, and purpose.

My Background and Approach

My psychology training and career have focused on helping clients cope with the emotional obstacles faced by individuals with injuries, illnesses, disabilities, or trauma. I utilize specialized psychotherapy approaches (EMDR, CBT, Motivational interviewing, etc.) to address the impact of an illness so the trauma is no longer in the driver's seat of your life. I have sat with hundreds of individuals with pain, mobility issues, unexplained symptoms, and unexpected changes in their bodies and health. In my work, I have seen how the adoption of new coping skills, mindset shifts, and lifestyle changes can move people from despair to thriving.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe all individuals are worthy, loveable and deserving of respect. Mutual respect and trust are foundational for any therapy to be effective. I accept you as you are. I will meet you where you are. In my practice, all are welcome.
