Your story is
not over.

When an illness changes your life, it changes more than your health. Helping patients and the people who love them navigate the emotional impact of serious illness.

FIND YOUR PATH

Transplant
Journey

Diagnosis, hospitalization, and the long weight of chronic illness leave marks. We make room to process what happened to your body and your sense of self.

Medical Trauma & Chronic Illness

As a transplant recipient myself, I understand the road from waiting list to recovery. There’s a dedicated space here for that journey.

Anxiety, Trauma, PTSD, Grief & Life Transitions

I’m EMDR trained — a structured, evidence-based approach that helps the brain settle distressing memories so they stop running the present.

Meet the Therapist
Behind Second Breath

I am a licensed mental health counselor and a two-time transplant survivor who specializes in supporting patients, caregivers, and families navigating the emotional impact of serious illness.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized. I believe healing happens when people feel genuinely understood, regain a sense of choice, and have a safe place to process experiences that have changed their lives.

Whether you’re adjusting to a new diagnosis, recovering after treatment, supporting someone you love, or making sense of life after illness, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you move forward.
