Philosophy of Care:

I’m passionate about helping people find joy, meaning, and fulfillment in life. I enjoy using evidence-based approaches to help people feel more confident in their ability to cope with life’s challenges, while also practicing self-compassion, embracing radical acceptance of things that cannot be changed, and actively pursuing one’s personal values. I’ve always loved the mind-body connection and I feel so lucky that I get to work in a medical clinic where we take care of patients’ physical AND mental health!
