Grief Therapists in California
I work with clients who are struggling with depression, grief and loss, anxiety, women's issues, life transitions, stress, and spiritual issues.
Many of us are experiencing increased anxiety and depression due to the current pandemic, climate changes and other stressors. Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from yourself and life. Let me help you reconnect and come home to yourself and your inner resources. My work is an integrative, holistic and collaborative exploration of my clients experiences and issues. I have found that profound growth and transformation can occur within a safe and nurturing environment. I work with women who are experiencing depression, grief and loss, anxiety, life transitions and relational issues. I also work with children ages 3 to 12.

I believe all pain stems from disconnection. Disconnection from self, others, and a greater belonging to the natural world. As a social species, we need love and support from one another to thrive and co-create a felt sense of safety. I believe each individual has everything they need within themselves to heal and the stable presence of another supports this natural healing process. Whether you are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, or feel it is time to change relationship dynamics or behavioral or thought patterns, I am honored to assist you in making meaningful internal and external change.

I recognize that grief and loss can apply to many aspects of people’s lives, from the loss of a loved one, a pet, or through life transitions.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who takes an integrative and holistic approach when working with clients. With 20 years of experience, I work with individual adults and couples. I am certified in nutrition and integrative medicine for mental health and am clinically trained as a Complex Trauma Professional. I am also a certified yoga teacher. Specializing in trauma and grief, I work with a wide variety of emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual struggles. I believe helping clients make connections with their mind – body – and spirit, as well as with others creates the path to healing and living their most authentic self.

I understand I skillfully work with those who are in crisis, managing significant life changes, suffering from grief and loss, sorting out work problems, lacking satisfaction in their intimate relationships and searching for meaningful relationships.
Living a life where struggling is a regular experience is difficult to change, because no one wants to feel worse. Therapy helps by talking through what's happened, what feels wrong and what ideas you have about it, all which may be conscious or unconscious. What's unconscious surfaces naturally through our work together. Most people enter therapy afraid, because they don't know where to start or are overwhelmed because so much has happened. I can help you navigate this terrain to relieve pain, clarify thoughts and beliefs, and improve well-being.

Most of my work includes working with creatives, expats, trauma, grief & loss, end of life support, postpartum depression and identity, career-related stress, life transitions, divorce and separation, personal and professional relationships (including non-traditional relationships).
Therapy is learning to use yourself as source for truth. It is my honor to be able to support and guide my clients through this process. I hold the perception that we are all creative beings who are artists of our own lives. I believe that every individual has a unique blueprint and a unique way of living. When we paint with the colors that ignite our truest essence, we become tuned and we attract what is in alignment with us. Yet to do so, we must know and understand ourselves. It is in this impactful space where we can find tremendous healing, growth and elevation.

How would your life be different if you were more compassionate and accepting of yourself? Research shows a friendlier relationship with yourself is transformational. I specialize in all types of grief and loss as well as the symptoms that can continue after chronic stress in childhood. Sometimes therapy just needs to be simply a safe, private place to sort things out, talk through life decisions, and maybe learn new emotional or social skills to adjust your trajectory.

You might be wanting to get rid of some of the unhealthy patterns you've been repeating, and you feel ready now for a change.

Societal messaging on grief and loss can be dismissive.
Of all human experience, nothing can fully prepare one for the pain of grief and loss. Perhaps you are grieving the loss of an important relationship, the end of a meaningful career, loss of employment, a miscarriage(s), the sudden death of someone close, losses due to COVID-19, loss of sense of self, or loss related to life cycle transitions. Maybe you are grieving a suicidal loss. If this resonates with your circumstances, I invite you to explore as well as honor your emotions. Please contact me if you would like greater processing, adjusting, and acceptance in your life to help increase your sense of agency.

By working collaboratively together, we explore topics like uncertainty, loss, identity, meaning-making, and mortality.
Coping with illness, injury, disability, or medical trauma is one of life’s most difficult challenges. It forever affects how we view ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, and how our lives were “supposed” to go. These experiences are also impacted by everything else we have been through in our lives. Each of us will inevitably experience being a care-giver or a care-recipient, and specialized therapeutic support can help you navigate the specific difficulties that illness or any health issues present. At any age, stage, or severity of illness or injury, cultivating resilience is possible. You aren't alone.

I work with older adults, those navigating serious illness and hair loss, life transitions, and grief/ loss in the promotion of dignity, agency, and wellbeing.
In the face of life's challenges, it is natural to feel isolated and overwhelmed. In such moments, the act of seeking support, while especially daunting, is profoundly courageous. I believe in your inherent capacity to choose, and thereby choose courageously a life aligned with your innermost needs and desires. With a collaborative style that is both warm and direct, I strive to provide a safe environment for you to explore the depths of your experience, identify unconscious patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that may run counter to your goals, and empower your own inner knowing.

You might need an unbiased 3rd party to process things. Maybe someone to understand what feelings you're going through? Or someone to hold up a mirror with a trauma-informed and compassionate lens. Whether it be depression, anxiety, grief, relationships, trauma, or difficult life transitions, we’ll collaborate together to help you be you. Sometimes we just need a soft place to land when we fall.

Because of the Grief Recovery Method (GRM), I knew how to process things from my childhood that we couldn't talk about, or it would be hurtful for me to ask him to acknowledge.
When grief hasn't been fully addressed, it can look like depression, anxiety, isolation, addictive behaviors to escape the pain, workaholism, relationships that are fragile, a lack of motivation, or feeling overwhelming resentment and bitterness. And grief can occur after a variety of losses that many people don't realize: divorce, moving, graduation, empty nest, retirement, an impactful change in financial position or physical abilities, a pandemic. My clients acutely feel how unresolved grief has become an impediment to living their lives in full, having healthy relationships, and having the energy to go after their goals.
