I support individuals coping with heavy stressors such as end of life concerns, caregiver burn out, and grief. The weight of these concerns can be destabilizing and challenging. Together we can talk about what matters most to you and support you on your journey. The goal is to help you rebuild and become more comfortable. We want to feel more capable and stronger over time. Together we can hold a space for all this and talk about the moments that fill your life at this time. In our sessions we can support you to feel more in tune with yourself and grounded.
I offer an outlet for you to process dark burdens and low moments. We will explore the concerns you are confronted with at this time and attempt to build a bridge to your wellbeing. I use a narrative approach along with other helpful modalities such as CBT and DBT. I offer mindful techniques and strategies to feel more connected to yourself.
My goal is to help soften the distress and support your needs. Please do not hesitate to reach out. I offer flexible scheduling and can assist with daytime, evenings, and weekend sessions. Reach out and we can connect with a free 15 minute consultation.

I work with clients to support end of life concerns, grief, and caregiver burn out. I help clients process the multiple layers they are coping with. Initially, We will explore concerns and how these are impacting you. We will then form a plan on how to respond to the the challenges together. Often clients will share they feel lighter and more adept at coping with hardships and stressors.
