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.

Deciding on a therapist can be a daunting experience; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I provide psychotherapy services via video and phone sessions. I have always known there was a need for high-quality mental health providers. Therefore, I focus my clinical practice on providing high-quality services and evidence-based interventions to my clients. I have treated many clients with a variety of diagnoses including: addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD and attention deficit disorder.

I have a strong passion to help people, and truly believe in each individual’s strengths and abilities. Some of the treatment modalities used are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Strengths-Based approach in an unbiased and non judgmental manner. Thus allowing me to create the holding space my clients need.

I have realized that when we understand our strengths and have developed them we are able to improve and or have a better quality of life. Sometimes we do not understand that a crisis can affect many different areas in our life and recognizing and acknowledging it is the first step in our journey to healing.
