Are you feeling overwhelmed or alone after a major life change, drowning in grief or the stress of caregiving. Whether you're grieving a loved one, adjusting to a new diagnosis, navigating caregiver changes, or rebuilding after a relationship or career transition, the “new normal” can feel exhausting. Therapy offers a steady, compassionate space to process grief, ease anxiety and depression, and regain a sense of clarity, strength, and direction as you gain tools to cope with beyond "venting" in session.

At Beneath the Mango Tree Therapy, I offer a grounded, compassionate space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. My background in hospice and medical settings allows me to understand the emotional toll of illness, caregiving, and navigating complex healthcare systems. Together, we’ll process grief, manage anxiety and burnout, set healthy boundaries

Grief can feel isolating and heavy — whether you’re mourning a loss or carrying the ongoing weight of caregiving. You may feel expected to stay strong, even when you’re exhausted. You don’t have to hold it alone. If you’re longing for a calm, compassionate space to process this chapter, I invite you to reach out and see if working together feels supportive.
