I work with adults navigating grief and loss, chronic illness or disability, medical trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with have been carrying a lot for a long time and are looking for a space where they do not have to minimize what they have been through or feel pressure to simply “move on.” My style is warm, relational, down-to-earth, and trauma-informed. There is room in therapy for the really hard things, but also for humor, curiosity, and being a human being together. I have a particular interest in grief, including sudden and traumatic loss, complicated or prolonged grief, caregiving, and the many less-recognized losses that can come with illness, disability, and changes in identity or capacity. Before moving into private practice, I spent many years working in medical settings, including intensive care, emergency care, dialysis, primary care, and palliative and end-of-life care. That experience continues to deeply inform my work with people living with chronic illness, navigating frightening or traumatic medical experiences, or trying to make sense of a body and life that may have changed in ways they never expected. I draw from somatic and body-based work, IFS/parts work, CBT and DBT skills, attachment-based therapy, and other trauma-informed approaches. I do not believe therapy should feel like trying to fit yourself into a particular model. We will work together to understand what is happening in your mind, body, relationships, and life, and figure out what actually helps you.
