About Me

I support adults navigating the unique challenges of chronic medical illness and life's profound existential questions. Our sessions offer a compassionate space to explore difficult feelings and find new ways forward. We can work together to make sense of significant changes, fostering clarity and resilience. This approach helps you understand your experiences and adapt to new realities with greater purpose.

Approach

My work moves from acknowledging the weight of long-term health struggles and life’s big questions into a steady, collaborative rhythm: we set small, achievable goals, test coping strategies between meetings, and gently track what helps you feel more grounded. In my Walnut Creek office we use clear, paced inquiry and brief assessments when helpful, so progress is concrete and understandable in English. People who value thoughtful, practical exploration tend to find this way of working supportive and clarifying.
