Great to meet you!

As a person living with Type One Diabetes myself, I understand the complexities and challenges that come with it. I specialize in helping people navigate the mental health aspects of living with diabetes or supporting a loved one living with T1D.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is to provide space for clients and families to be able to express frustrations and challenges as well as set goals for feeling more comfortable and confident with T1D management. It's about progress, not perfection.

What you can expect from me

My hope is that clients will feel empowered to take on life and effectively deal with the challenges as they arise by using coping skills and strategies learned in sessions.
