Life moves fast — and sometimes it leaves you feeling like you're just trying to catch up. Whether you're processing a loss, adjusting to a new chapter, managing anxiety, or supporting someone through a serious illness, you don't have to face it alone.

I specialize in grief, anxiety, life transitions, and psychosocial cancer care. Using EMDR, CBT, and a humanistic approach, we work through what's weighing on you — not with a checklist, but with a plan built around your actual life and goals. Your voice leads the way. My job is to help you find your footing.

Therapy with me is direct, collaborative, and grounded. Reach out today — let's figure out what healing looks like for you.

*Insurance & Fees* I am in-network with Aetna and Quest Behavioral Health. For all other major insurance companies, I am an out of network provider. My office provides a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement and we will assist you in verifying your benefits to make the process as seamless as possible. I also offer a sliding scale rate for those in need. Please reach out to learn more about how we can start this work together.
