Counseling is an agent of change
for people seeking better wellbeing.
Sana Vitae Counseling is here to improve the emotional health and well-being of the individuals and families I am privileged to serve.
The Latin translation of “Sana” is healthy, whole, sound, and by extension cure, heal, and care for. “Vitae” means “pertaining to life.” My goal as a therapist is to help you learn to care for yourself in a way that allows you to experience fullness of life…whatever that may mean to you.
I understand everyone is on their own path to better health and that wellbeing can take many forms. It can be a calmer presence of mind, deeper connectedness, stronger self-esteem, clarity around personal strengths, navigating traumas and conflicts or finding a greater sense of purpose.

By listening with purpose and using evidence-based practices, I partner with clients to help them:
- Establish and pursue goals
- Provide compassionate accountability
- Enhance personal and professional resiliency
- Understand and overcome the ambivalence which interferes with personal progress
- Recognize and interrupt negative patterns of thoughts and behaviors
- Identify, articulate and advocate needs in healthier, more productive ways
- Provide a connective relational experience to explore issues and emotions safely and without judgment
- Provide education and tools to help improve thoughts patterns, emotional regulation, communications, coping, habits, and relationships
