About My Clients

Clients come to me looking for someone who “gets” what it’s like to struggle with a medical issue. Therapy should be a validating place where you feel understood. Sessions involve talking and learning coping skills—at your pace, as you feel comfortable. Together, we will get you to a place where you can live the meaningful life you deserve.

My Background and Approach

My fascination with the connection between psychology and health led me to focus my graduate studies on the psychosocial aspects of mental health and aging. After graduating with my MSW in 2011, I worked as a social worker for over a decade in medical settings. I've also had the privilege of working extensively with clients who are coping with significant life changes, such as a cancer diagnosis, chronic illness or medical trauma. I also work with caregivers who are struggling to juggle it all while caring for a loved one with a difficult medical diagnosis. I am happy that my path has brought me to serving individuals like you today.
