About
I am a direct and straightforward therapist who will make it easy and enjoyable to take an honest look at yourself and what is stopping you from living your best life. With over 25 years experience, I offer practical solutions for relieving suffering, using an eclectic approach such as mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral, strength-based, supportive and insight-oriented therapy. My practice focuses on caregivers and first responders who feel burnt out and overwhelmed, with little energy or time to take care of themselves. Living with terminal illness is also my area of expertise backed up by 22 years as a hospice worker. Death and dying are challenging topics because of stigma and cultural complexities that affect experience. I offer space and a compassionate ear to help process difficult emotions that go with enduring this painful inevitable part of life. I will teach coping skills to put you back in charge and adapt to a better way to live and look at the world.
