Therapy Focus

My primary goal is to provide customized therapy to individuals experiencing life changes, including health issues, aging, burnout, and financial stress. I specialize in financial and medical trauma and lead support groups such as Menopause Matters, Financial Wellness, and Caregiver Corner. If you're interested, please contact me for upcoming start dates. I limit my groups to six people and maintain a waitlist. Furthermore, I provide a free consultation for all of my services to determine if we are a good fit as a therapist and client.

Financial Trauma

Chronic stress related to finances, lack of resources, or financial abuse can lead to financial trauma, which can be a debilitating experience. This can result in heightened anxiety, fear, or anger, making it difficult to cope with stress. Although financial trauma is not a clinical diagnosis, it's crucial to seek help to prevent untreated symptoms from developing into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Medical Trauma

Medical trauma can be a result of various interactions with the medical system, such as surgeries, new diagnoses, and interactions with healthcare professionals. These experiences can lead to traumatic stress and affect patients' mental health. Healthcare settings like primary care clinics, general hospitals, and specialty medical clinics can all contribute to medical trauma.

Life Transitions

Life is full of changes that are often unpredictable. While some transitions can be exciting, others can be overwhelming and confusing. If you're looking for a safe space to explore your emotions or need guidance on how to navigate life's transitions, we're here to help.

Anxiety

Feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure are the defining characteristics of anxiety. Although anxiety and fear are sometimes used interchangeably, anxiety is a future-oriented, long-lasting response to a vague threat, while fear is a present-oriented, short-lived response to a clear and specific threat.

Depression

Symptoms of depression can range from mild to severe and may vary from person to person. These symptoms include feeling sad, losing interest in activities, changes in appetite and weight, sleep disturbances, physical restlessness or slowed movements, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of suicide.

Menopause

Hormonal changes during menopause can affect physical and mental health. Women may experience symptoms ranging from anxiety, depression, irritability, self-esteem, poor concentration, and forgetfulness. Furthermore, lack of sleep can exacerbate these symptoms.
