As a health psychologist, I have a great deal of experience working with people suffering from one or more chronic illnesses. I may be a good fit if you are coming to terms with a health scare, processing a new diagnosis or treatment, have experienced medical trauma, or are struggling to cope with chronic medical conditions. Prior to hospital work, I spent many years working and training in college counseling centers. Please be willing to self reflect, have an open mind, and be willing to consider how you treat yourself.
I'm an ally and enjoy working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. I can help with self esteem, social anxiety, learning social and conversational skills, and major life adjustments. I also work with people who are neurodivergent (HSP, high functioning autism, & ADHD). I'm also experienced in treating depression, GAD, and mild disordered eating.
Choosing a therapist can be tricky, especially if you haven't had great past experiences. During our consultation, I'll ask some questions about what's bothering you and talk a bit about my approach. If you'd like, send me an email and we can find some time to talk it over. No pressure: there is no expectation of scheduling an appointment after the consult.
