Are you struggling under the weight of grief? Are you overwhelmed with anticipation as you dread a loss that hasn’t happened yet? Do you feel like your loss is stigmatized or unspeakable? The pain of loss causes a ripple that touches every part of your life and turns your world upside down. Maybe you need a safe place to openly grieve, concrete strategies to make it though each day, ways to feel connected, validation for what you’re feeling, a sense of meaning, or hope for the future. These can be the first steps toward powerful change.
I recognize grief as a normal and natural response to loss of all kinds; I also see grief as an expression of love, be it for yourself or someone else. I offer grief counseling that honors your loss, strengthens connections, harnesses your resilience, heals past wounds that impact your grief, and helps you build a future aligned with your values.
As a clinical social worker, I have worked with many grievers and look forward to supporting you during this process. Please visit my website to learn more about me and my practice. Contact me for a free consultation and we’ll start moving forward together.

I work with adults (over 21yo) who are grieving a loss or anticipating one. Initially, we will get to know your loss and explore concrete ways to care for the most painful parts of your grief. Then, we will address old wounds, strengthen connections, and plan for the future. While grief is a lifelong companion, nearly all my clients notice positive changes in their grief within the first year.
