Introduction

Reaching out for help can be difficult. It takes courage, vulnerability and hope to seek support and be open to seeing things from a new perspective. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and family coping. I help clients find greater fulfillment from life and their relationships. My therapeutic style is collaborative, warm, empathetic, culturally sensitive, strength-based and client-centered. As a former medical social worker in oncology, I am experienced in helping families cope through the many emotional and practical challenges a medical diagnosis and treatment can bring. I am also passionate about the mental health of healthcare professionals. I have unique experience treating nurses, physicians and allied healthcare professionals struggling with anxiety, grief, vicarious trauma, medical malpractice stress and burnout. In addition, I treat adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression or distress relating to high pressure careers. Whatever issue you may be struggling with, my intention is to help you discover and move toward what matters most to you and learn skills to cope with distressing thoughts, feelings and memories in a productive, mindful and self-compassionate way. I look forward to meeting you as you take this important step in seeking support.
