Grief and loss are about death, relationships, mourning what could have been, and whatever is causing you to shed the tears you are now shedding. I’ve seen grief and loss in many forms? What is it like for you? Life gives us the chance to explore the past, and create a better present. We hope for a present where we can thrive. My job as a therapist is to ask you the questions that can move you forward. I use my knowledge of psychology, the enneagram, grounded spirituality, and common sense. I’m an an LGBTQIA ally. I honor your spirituality in my work. Let’s see what can be discovered in your life journey!
I offer online therapy. I've worked with survivors of a loved ones suicide, the disabled, spiritual issues, recovery and have supported parents in advocating for their children in the education system. I bring an eclectic set of tools to the session and will work with you to find the right strategy that works for you. I take a holistic approach to grief.
My job is to understand you and where you are in your life. I will use my skills to join with you as you move towards a path that can lead to peace and resolution. We can work to bring calmness and understanding regarding the events that have happened to you. Together we will explore pathways forward. I look forward to working with you.

Grief, and loss are lived. While I've read the books: I've also lived this. I've spent two years in a spiritual direction program which expanded my knowledge beyond what I do as a psychotherapist. I've done TRCBT training to learn more about short term treatment of trauma that can be dealty with in a shorter amount of time.
