Treatment Focus
My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.
Psychotherapy Practice
My experience enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care. I treat adults with chronic health problems including chronic pain, MS, GI disorders and cancer. I also work with adults who experience stress related symptoms and illnesses.
Therapy
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions associated with the experience of physical illness. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life and focus on improving ability to function in ways that are important to you.
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals with chronic pain and illness can experience symptoms associated with traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Relationships
Relationships and support are important in a full life. We can focus on building relationship skills and handling the challenges that come with chronic health conditions.
