As a Grief and Loss Therapist and Trauma Therapist, I offer therapy for life’s hardest moments with compassion, strength, and real understanding. Grief and Loss can leave you with many unanswered questions and feeling like no one understands. Having someone supportive through this journay can help you to not feel so alone. Trauma can cause you to have nightmares or flashabcks from past trauma. You may be easily triggered and can’t get certain memories out of your head. Together through therapy, we'll work on finding healthy ways to unpack your trauma gently and compassionately process your emotions about your grief and loss.
I offer compassionate guidance to navigate grief, use evidence-based techniques and teach skills to process your grief. I provide healing through a gentle trauma support with or without details. My focus on effective anger management strategies provides you with healthy coping tools to handle your anger effectively. Let’s work on healing and empowering you.
In times of struggle, feeling heard and understood is so important. I'm here to offer you a safe space to explore your emotions, where your experiences are validated, and without judgment. You're not alone on this journey. I'm here to support and guide you towards a more balanced, peaceful, and fulfilling life. Visit my website to get started with therapy.

I help people who are grieving the loss of a loved one navigate through their pain and suffering. It may feel like the world is ending, but you will get through this. I also help people heal from trauma which allows them to enjoy life more and sleep better at night. We all get angry. Sometimes we even explode towards loved ones or at work. Let me help you with your grief, your trauma, and anger.

I find that cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, grief and loss models, and a strength-based approach work best for the issues my clients are coming to me for therapy. CBT is an evidence based model for showing the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Utilizing a strength-based approach allows me to show you how to fully use your strengths to tackle problems.
