Patients Seen: Adults

I have a pas­sion for work­ing with indi­vid­u­als liv­ing with chron­ic med­ical ill­ness as a clin­i­cal health psy­chol­o­gist, and to help patients live health­i­er, more resilient lives while cop­ing with med­ical dif­fi­cul­ties. I have expe­ri­ence with a wide range of med­ical diag­noses, and spe­cial­ize in indi­vid­u­als liv­ing with the spe­cial chal­lenges of rare and/​or genet­ic dis­eases. I believe that health is more than just the sum of our phys­i­cal ail­ments, and aim to help clients devel­op and increase an over­all sense of well-being in their dai­ly lives.
