About My Clients

I work best with adults navigating anxiety, depression, chronic stress, illness, disability, and major life transitions. I specialize in psychosocial oncology and have a strong passion for supporting individuals with disabilities, including neurodivergent and autistic adults. My approach is strength-based, practical, and compassionate, while offering real tools, honest conversation, and steady support during life’s hardest seasons.
