Supportive Psychotherapy
People pursue therapy for so many reasons. You may be experiencing a specific problem you want help with. Life may feel like too much to manage on your own. You may know something isn’t working but aren’t totally sure what needs to change. Whatever the reason, I want to help you get the support you need.
I specialize in helping adults navigating chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, and complex medical conditions. These experiences can shape how you see yourself, your relationships, work, parenting, and your priorities. These experiences can also create additional stress: financial strain, housing concerns, relationship challenges, or the ongoing mental and emotional work of managing a body or life that requires extra planning. This all can be difficult for other people to understand. You may find yourself having to explain what you need, adjust expectations, grieve things that have changed, or cope with tremendous amounts of uncertainty.
Therapy can involve learning strategies to manage that stress as effectively as possible while also figuring out what you need and what matters most to you. I strive to be nonjudgmental, warm, and collaborative. I bring in practical evidence-based tools and a willingness to challenge you when it could be helpful. Depending on what brings you to therapy, we may work on the patterns that keep you stuck, strategies for managing difficult emotions, improving relationships, or how to live in alignment with what matters to you.
I care deeply about creating a welcoming and respectful space that affirms diverse identities, including LGBTQIA+ and disabled clients, and I approach differences in identity and culture with curiosity and humility. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to bring clinical expertise so that together we can help you build a life you find meaningful and fulfilling.
Please note that I am exclusively offering phone or video therapy sessions at this time. In-person sessions may be available in the future
