Hi! If you've found your way here, it’s likely because you're navigating the challenging terrain of grief. I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm so glad you're here. Grief is a deeply personal journey, and it’s not just about losing someone you love but also encompasses non-death losses such as life transitions, chronic health conditions, and other significant changes. You may feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, uncertainty about the future and not sure how to move forward. My goal is to support you in exploring all the ways grief is impacting your life and working towards finding meaning and purpose even when life feels uncertain.

As a therapist, and human in general, I am passionate about creating space for the stories and emotions that are so often pushed away, hidden from view, and disavowed. I believe that to be seen, heard, and accepted in these tender places can be a profoundly healing experience, even (and especially) when there is "nothing to do about it," other than bear witness and grieve. An important piece of this process is moving towards a way of being that centers less around achieving, perfecting and “doing” and much more around “being.” Being present, being messy, being perfectly imperfect and ok with slow processes and uncertainties.

I specialize in supporting clients through periods of transition & transformation, and I am passionate about working with clients to create the change they seek. This might include processing difficult experiences, increasing self-understanding & self-compassion, exploring values & identity, learning coping strategies, or increasing capacity for intimacy in relationship. Additionally, as a mother and registered midwife (currently non-practicing), I draw on many years of personal and professional experience to offer support to clients who may be struggling with challenges related to the perinatal period.

"Life has many ways of testing a person's will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.” ― Paulo Coelho. We have the ability as humans to overcome adversity, trauma and life altering stressors. You may clearly know what is bothering you or it may be deep in your unconscious, regardless, there needs to be a feeling. Whether the feeling is the desire for change or the awareness that you need help; it is the first step in your healing. The goal is to process the feelings that hold you back, thus freeing up space for positive memories, healthy coping, and self compassion.
