As an LCSW and certified grief-informed professional, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health. I am dedicated to supporting adults through their unique challenges, particularly those facing grief, anxiety, and depression. My choice to specialize in grief came at a young age after I lost a classmate in high school. That had a profound impact on me and helped me decide that mental health was the career path I wanted to take. This experience and my passion for helping people brought me to where I am today.

One thing I like to reiterate about grief therapy is you will never stop missing and loving the one you lost because grief is an extension of love, and you will never forget that person. You will experience sadness from time to time. However, therapy helps with acceptance, learning how to move forward in life, and how to keep them a part of your life.

Your healing is about more than just symptom management—it's about finding hope and learning how to thrive. From our first session, we’ll work together to identify your goals and create a plan that feels right for you. My goal is to support you every step of the way, ensuring you have the tools and support you need to live a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in grief and anxiety, and see quite a bit of intersection between the two. I start by utilizing psychoeducation; understanding what anxiety and grief are and how they impact us. Therapy is really great at helping you learn coping skills, how to manage symptoms, how to process thoughts and grief, and change overall perspectives on these challenges.

In your first session, we will explore some of the reasons that brought you to therapy, gather some biopsychosocial information, and explore treatment goals. From this information, we will decide the best treatment approach. We will collaborate together to create a treatment plan that fits your needs. Many of my patients experience overall and continued improvements after the first month or so.
