Have you recently experienced a major life change--maybe the death of a loved one, an unexpected traumatic event, a new medical diagnosis, changes to your identity, a shift in your career opportunities, or the loss of a major relationship? My focus as a psychologist is on partnering with patients as they move through major life transitions and helping them tap into their inner wisdom to cope with this transition they move forward. I love working with adult clients (ages 18 and up) in areas of identity, coping with grief/loss, relationships, stress, depression, and adjusting to medical diagnoses and chronic pain.
All of us possess the ability to survive major transitions and thrive as we rebuild ourselves. As an evidence based practitioner, I specialize in helping patients with trauma, mood disorders, and medical conditions and physical changes that impact their identities and worldview.
I am here to meet you where you are in your self-discovery and healing process. My goal is to be a compassionate guide and to build an authentic relationship with you as you experience the therapeutic process and create a strategy for thriving. I offer a warm and accepting environment to adults of all identities.
