Do racing thoughts, worry, or restlessness keep you from feeling present in your life? You don’t have to carry that weight alone. Through compassionate, supportive telehealth sessions, I help clients find calm, build resilience, and create healthier ways to cope. Take your first step toward peace today. Grief can feel overwhelming—whether from the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a life transition. You deserve a safe space to process, honor your loss, and rediscover hope. Together, we’ll gently navigate the pain and help you move forward with meaning and compassion.
CBT helps calm anxious thoughts, reduce worry, and build healthier coping skills. For grief, it supports processing emotions, easing guilt, and finding meaning while honoring your loss. With guidance, CBT offers tools to heal, regain balance, and move forward with greater peace and resilience.
Accepting clients in California! I offer Sunday and Tuesday evening telehealth sessions, creating a safe, compassionate space to explore your journey. With warmth and cultural humility, I value and honor your unique experiences. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out today—I’d be happy to answer any questions.
