About My Clients

I work with clients who are feeling weighed down by a new medical diagnosis, chronic health issue, or big life change. The initial shock can feel unreal, like being in the middle of a very, very, bad dream. Once that wears off (at least temporarily), the constant thinking, planning, and worrying can feel like a massive weight on your shoulders.. And that’s on top of all the other daily tasks and responsibilities. I want to help ease some of that load.

My Background and Approach

I meet my clients wherever they are in their journey, whether it's in the early stages of making sense of a diagnosis or change, or if they’ve been on this road for a while and are having trouble wrapping their head around what they’ve already been through. I provide a warm and encouraging space to talk openly about challenges and worries, process the losses experienced along the way, and learn concrete tools to feel better.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a firm believer in the importance of paying attention to how physical health impacts mental health, and vice versa. Our mind and body are so very interconnected, that any change to physical health trickles down to impact a whole lot of other areas of life. I believe that when we pay attention to how physical health conditions affect all of us, not only our bodies, we can move through these enormous experiences with awareness and intentionality. We can gain a better understanding of ourselves and learn effective tools to re-engage with life.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
