Welcome
Pausing to consider psychotherapy—or choosing to explore reflective psychological work more intentionally—can be a meaningful act of self-care. Many people arrive here during moments of uncertainty, transition, or quiet reflection, sensing that something deserves attention or space.
Some individuals seek support in response to cancer-related experiences, health challenges, or caregiving roles. Others come with broader questions about identity, meaning, resilience, or how to move through a particular stage of life with greater clarity. You do not need to have a fully defined goal before beginning; therapy often becomes the place where understanding gradually unfolds.
I offer a collaborative and reflective approach to therapy that supports both immediate concerns and deeper patterns over time. My work is grounded in thoughtful, individualized care, with attention to the emotional, relational, and contextual factors that shape each person’s experience. It is informed by a health psychology perspective, with a focus on understanding the relationship between emotional well-being and physical health.
A Thoughtful, Individualized Approach to Care
This practice is grounded in respect for your pace, your story, and your lived experience. Our work together offers a thoughtful and collaborative space for reflection, self-discovery, coping, and growth—guided by clinical expertise and a genuine human presence. As questions and concerns become clearer, therapy can shift from open exploration toward care that is more intentional and responsive.
The services offered here are designed to meet individuals at different points along that path—whether you are seeking support during cancer treatment, navigating life after illness, caring for someone else, or engaging in broader psychological and meaning-centered work. Care is individualized and adapted to your needs, with the aim of supporting meaningful and sustainable personal change.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, reflective, and tailored to your individual needs. Rather than relying on a single framework, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches—including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-informed therapies—depending on what may be most helpful in any given moment.
At times, our work may focus on developing practical ways of coping with stress, anxiety, or sleep difficulties. At other points, it may involve a deeper exploration of emotional patterns, relationships, and lived experience.
With individuals navigating medical illness, including cancer, this work also attends to the emotional, psychological, and relational dimensions of care—recognizing that health challenges affect the whole person, not only the body. Across all areas, therapy is guided by your pace and goals, with the aim of supporting meaningful and lasting change.
What follows offers an overview of how care may support the emotional and psychological dimensions of cancer and related health experiences.
