Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP Practicum Student

Living with chronic health issues—or worrying nonstop about your health—can take over everything.

Maybe you’ve been through endless appointments, tests, or vague symptoms no one seems to understand. Or maybe your mind’s always scanning for the next thing that could go wrong. It’s exhausting. Your relationships, sleep, mood, and motivation have all taken a hit, and trying to “stay positive” isn’t cutting it. If health stress is making life feel small, overwhelming, or out of control, therapy might help you feel a little more like yourself again.

I work with adults managing chronic illness or health-related anxiety. I’ve been to therapy myself and know how powerful it can be. My approach is real, flexible, and focused on helping you feel less consumed by worry and more present in your actual life—no toxic positivity required.

If your health concerns have taken over your thoughts or left you feeling stuck, let’s talk. I offer a free consult so you can ask questions and see if working together feels like a good fit. No pressure, no performance—just a chance to breathe, be honest, and figure out what might help. Call or email to book.

OR…still not sure what therapist is a good fit for you?
