Has someone really important in your life died? I know this kind of loss can be life-changing. It's been months and you think you're going crazy - having emotional outbursts you can't control, don't feel like yourself anymore, can't feel joy about anything, or feel completely numb. Everyone expects you to be "better" but you're not. Are you terrified everyone else will die too? Are you wondering if this is normal grief or if you're losing your mind? If avoiding the pain or "acting normal" hasn't worked, I help you navigate this grief and put your life back together in a way that makes sense.
Working together I'll help you stop feeling like you're going crazy. I understand the enormity of the pain you're carrying - this loss is devastating. You won't feel this terrible forever or be stuck like this. Together we'll calm the overwhelming anxiety, manage emotional outbursts, and help you reconnect with joy and feel like yourself again.
I work with people whose important person died - spouse, parent, best friend - even if the relationship was complicated. Right now you probably feel broken, like you're falling apart, and nothing like yourself. I would be honored to work with you during this destabilizing and disortienting moment. All of you is welcome - snot, rage, dark humor, and more.

I specialize in traumatic grief because I've lived through devastating loss myself. I know what it's like to wonder if you'll survive this. I've fortified my lived experience with professional training so I can be the kind of support I needed when my own person died.

I help clients manage increased anxiety, uncontrollable emotions, and numbness after losing someone important. Treatment involves exploring your grief, developing coping tools, and honoring your person's memory. Clients can expect to regain control over their life and emotions, reconnect with joy, and feel "normal" again.

Grief is unique so I tailor my approach to meet your needs. We'll identify what feels most distressing and overwhelming first. Then treatment will focus on processing trauma, managing intense emotions, and helping you survive without your person while keeping their memory alive. I use EMDR, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and existential tools in my therapy.
