Introduction

Whole-Person Counseling for Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Health Changes & Life Transitions If anxiety, chronic pain, health concerns, grief, relationships, or other life changes have left you feeling unlike yourself, you are not alone. I am a dedicated and compassionate licensed mental health therapist with nearly two decades of counseling experience, along with more than 20 years of professional experience in the medical field. I provide therapy through my virtual private practice, offering a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. I work with adults and older adults, including those navigating chronic health conditions, chronic pain, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship concerns, and other challenges that can affect emotional well-being and quality of life. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to your individual needs and goals. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, Person-Centered Therapy, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective therapy. Together, we can identify meaningful goals, build on your strengths, develop practical skills, and work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being. I am committed to ongoing professional development and staying current with evidence-based practices.
