Great to meet you!

When your health changes, your whole life can change.

Maybe you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

You may be living with a chronic illness, unpredictable symptoms, pain, fatigue, or a condition that other people can’t see. You may still be working, caring for your family, and doing everything you’re expected to do—but you’re exhausted from trying to keep up with a life that no longer fits your body.

Perhaps you’re grieving the person you used to be, struggling with anxiety about the future, feeling guilty when you need to rest or say no, or wondering how to maintain your relationships while your needs are changing.

You don’t have to choose between accepting your new reality and still wanting a meaningful life.

Therapy can help you:

  • Adjust to changes in your health and abilities.
  • Grieve the life, roles, or identity you may have lost.
  • Manage anxiety about symptoms and the future.
  • Develop a healthier relationship with limitations, rest, and self-care.
  • Navigate changes in work, family, friendships, and relationships.
  • Reconnect with who you are beyond your diagnosis.
  • Find meaning and purpose when life looks different than you expected.

You are more than your diagnosis.

Together, we can work toward a life that feels meaningful—not necessarily the life you originally planned, but one that fits who you are now.

My approach to therapy

My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and strength-based, incorporating elements of humor to foster a positive and supportive environment. My tools are tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Expressive Arts.

What you can expect from me

I believe that we all share common needs and aspirations; yet, I acknowledge that our individual life experiences give rise to distinct challenges. Furthermore, I hold the conviction that we all possess unique traits, abilities, and talents that serve as our means to heal, change, and grow.

I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences, identify your needs, and engage in some collaborative problem-solving.
