Whether it’s the death of a loved one, major life transitions, or the life you thought you’d have by now, grief has a way of showing up alongside anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. You don’t have to carry it alone. I’m passionate about helping people navigate grief, anxiety, identity shifts, and major life changes, while supporting clients in reconnecting with their values and sense of self. My work is integrative and tailored, using evidence-based approaches while staying flexible and responsive to what you need in the moment.
I specialize in grief counseling with teens, young adults, and adults, offering a trauma-informed, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. In our sessions, you can expect warmth, collaboration, and honesty - along with a space where humor is welcome and you don’t have to filter yourself to be understood.
In sessions with me, there’s room for both the hard stuff and moments of lightness. You don’t need to have the “right” words or know where to start. We’ll take things at your pace and make sense of what you’re carrying together. Healing doesn’t have to follow a timeline or look a certain way - what matters is that you have support as you move through it.
