Together, we will make space for the emotional impact of illness, loss, uncertainty, or major change. We can explore how these experiences affect your identity, relationships, family roles, and sense of control while building practical ways to cope, communicate your needs, and reconnect with meaning and direction.

Warm, patient, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to. Clients often appreciate that I make room for difficult emotions while also helping them find practical ways forward. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about fear, grief, frustration, or uncertainty without feeling that you have to protect anyone else.

I became a therapist after seeing how much people can carry quietly while continuing to show up for everyone around them. My work in hospitals, community settings, and social services reinforced how powerful it can be to feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood during difficult or uncertain periods of life.

A health diagnosis or major life change can affect far more than one part of your life. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin with what feels most difficult now and work together to make sense of what has changed, strengthen coping, and reconnect with your needs, identity, and direction.
