Are you feeling overwhelmed by grief, illness, or a major life change?
I have more than ten years of experience supporting individuals and families through difficult moments. My background includes crisis intervention, behavioral health assessments, and counseling around adjustment to illness, grief, and bereavement.
My approach is warm, flexible, and practical. I work to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and better equipped to move forward.
I help individuals and families navigate grief, illness, life transitions, and other difficult moments with support that is compassionate, practical, and strengths-based.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the Strengths Perspective, which means I believe every person already has resilience, abilities, and inner resources they can build on.
It takes great strength to open up about life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore what you’re going through, develop healthy coping strategies, and build resilience to navigate life’s stressors.
