I specialize in living with illness and/or caregiving, experiencing grief, navigating relationships, dealing with anxiety and coping with unhealed past traumas.
Life can present you with difficult situations which are hard to process and move past. These challenges are not on your timeline and affect everything. Having worked in many healthcare settings, I am familiar navigating life-changing events and grief. I understand the territory of encountering loss, coping with trauma, the complexity of the medical system and living with illness. Together we will face any changes, fears, anxiety and emotions you are experiencing, allowing you to gain more grounding and peace. I will work with you from an integrative, holistic approach to determine together what is needed for your coping, healing and self-care.

Specifically, I have extensive experience with individuals presenting with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, grief and loss.
Therapy can empower us to live more fully and authentically. When we have our experiences heard and validated by another, it can enhance our understanding and acceptance of ourselves. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to effective therapy. Using a genuine, empathetic, and open stance, I aim to foster an environment where you will feel comfortable sharing whatever comes to mind. Working from a psychodynamic framework, I believe it is important to understand how our early life experiences impact our current emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
