I work primarily with adults facing chronic, life-limiting, or potentially life-threatening conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or AIDS. I focus on helping clients find successful ways to cope with illness, and to integrate the experience of illness into their life story and world view.

I see myself as psychologist, coach, advocate, and partner on a journey. I try to find and remove barriers to experiencing life to the fullest. I work in a multi-specialty practice that includes neuropsychologists, child psychologists, and brain mapping/
