Crossing Borders to Fill the Gaps in Psychosocial Support

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in clinical health psychology. I work with individuals, couples and families impacted by chronic illness as well the emotional changes that come along with mid-life and aging. I have worked with individuals all over the world cope with difficult and unexpected, life stressors.

For over 20 years my clinical work and research has been in the area of psycho-oncology, addressing quality of life amongst cancer patients and their families. Having always worked in medicine, I appreciate the interplay between physical and mental health and stay abreast of continuous advances in medical treatment for cancer, cardiac disease and other chronic health conditions.

After working in a variety of health care systems, I have experienced the systemic barriers to mental health such as: squeezing psychotherapy in between other medical appointments, being unable to see patients too ill to leave their homes or too busy with work and family to come in for appointments and problems with insurance companies. As a Clinical Psychologist at large medical centers, I have also witnessed the lack of Clinical Health Psychologists in the community who have expertise in dealing with chronic health concerns. I created Psychotherapy Without Borders to overcome these barriers and support individuals in a way that works with their lifestyles and circumstances, rather than forcing patients to make their already stressful lives to fit in psychotherapy. I bring my expertise and knowledge gained from my clinical, research and academic pursuits to bring patients highly specialized, evidence-based, tailored psychotherapy.
