As an existential behavioral health psychologist, who predominantly works in cancer care and with those facing existential-spiritual (life-transitional) crises, the client most attracted to my services would be someone who is interested in finding meaning & purpose in Life through their struggles. Depression and anxiety are symptoms of a greater bio-psycho-spiritual challenge. By exploring the particular life-transitional stressors (such as facing cancer or another life crisis), that trigger anxiety or sadness, we then delve into patterns of 'stuckness' that help liberate clients to be free to be their true authentic selves.

I work with older adolescents and adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including those who are struggling with anxiety, mood, stress, grief and life transitions. I am also uniquely trained as a health psychologist and have worked with individuals coping with a host of medical issues including women's issues, cancer, HIV, irritable bowel disease, diabetes, chronic pain and burn injury. Additionally, I often work with caregivers and patient's families. When appropriate and with permission, I will collaborate with one's treatment team (physicians, psychiatrists and specialists) to provide comprehensive care.

With previous experiences working with adolescents through the geriatric population, I have experience with clients through the entire lifespan. My approach centers on fostering growth and wellness through grace, understanding, and utilizing individual strengths. Some areas of interest include PTSD, LGBTQ+ community, the chronic pain/illness community, as well as clients working through life changes, codependency, depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. I strongly believe that through understanding ourselves and our personal life stories that we can navigate the challenges we encounter in life and come out of them stronger.

I believe all individuals have the capacity to live meaningful, enriched lives. I also believe that along with its splendor, life is intrinsically complicated, messy, and challenging.

Struggling to connect with your authentic self? Looking for a sense of peace or contentment?

Many people struggle with uncertainty in handling new situations or resolving old problems. You may be experiencing difficulties in your relationships with family, friends, bosses and coworkers, or struggling with long-term issues related to difficulty achieving personal goals, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, or other issues. Past ways of dealing with problems may no longer be working and/or have become self-defeating. Please contact me to discuss how psychotherapy might help you make different choices as you deal with current life stresses, or long-standing problems.
