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.

  • 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
