Managing a health condition is exhausting. You've probably learned that even getting the care you need is a full-time job. Advocating for yourself, repeating your story to new providers, and managing all the ups and downs of symptoms can take a toll. When you aren't healthy physically, it affects every area of your life (even when you’re doing everything “right” medically). As a health psychologist, I help people navigate the emotional challenges that a medical diagnosis can bring. Together, we’ll explore how stress, emotions, and daily habits affect your health and develop practical, meaningful strategies to improve it. I offer free 15-minute consultation to see if we might be the right fit working together.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy is evidence-based, collaborative, and practical. I draw from research-backed methods, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and emotion-focused approaches, to help clients make meaningful, lasting changes to improve their health and emotional wellbeing. Together, we identify what’s getting in the way of your health and create realistic, step-by-step strategies that fit your life. I believe therapy works best as a partnership: you bring your expertise on your own experience, and I bring psychological tools and guidance to help you move forward. The goal is not perfection, but progress.
