There are so many life changes, emotions, and challenges that come with a diagnosis. And given that it often takes 2 years to get a diagnosis, you've likely been struggling with this for awhile, you just didn't know what it was yet. That's true if it's your diagnosis or the diagnosis of someone you love. I specialize in working with people with medical challenges/chronic illness (cancer, autoimmune disease, etc), caregivers (for children, spouses, elderly parents), older adults, and people with cognitive challenges (Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, etc.). I’ve worked with people who are dying as well as their grieving family and friends. I also have experience supporting and educating parents on parenting and special needs as well as adults with ADHD. I help clients develop coping skills to support them through times of stress. They increase knowledge about their situation, compassion for themselves and others, become more flexible in their thinking, and improve self care. They gain confidence in themselves while decreasing uncomfortable feelings such as shame, guilt, sadness, and worry. The most important factor for successful therapy is developing a supportive relationship between client and therapist. This relationship we’ll form is the foundation upon which positive changes occur. I think you’ll find my approach to be caring, genuine, and focused on your needs and goals. All sessions are provided online through a platform similar to Zoom, Monday - Friday. I'm licensed in Texas and California, so you'll need to be in one of those states for us to work together. In California I am in-network with United Healthcare and Humana. In Texas I am in-network with United Healthcare, Humana, and Medicare. If you'd like to set up a free 15 minute consultation and be put on the waitlist, please include in the appointment request a message with the following information. This will help speed up the process to determine if we're a good fit: 1- A brief description of what's bringing you to therapy. 2- Where you live (city and state) so I can make sure I'm able to provide therapy for you. 3- If you'd like to use insurance, what provider you have. I’d love to speak with you about how I can help and support you.
