Sometimes, life is more intense than ever expected. You deserve a therapist that is well trained in your life experience. I focus exclusively on grief - grief accompanies the loss of a loved one, pregnancy loss, caregiving, moving, changes in health. divorce, parenting and empty nesting to name a few. There is hope to find your way. Telehealth sessions and self-guided bereavement programs are offered to lift barriers to quality support and create life balance. Chartreuse Center was created with you in mind, with extra flexibility build into the services. As I like to say, you have a friend in grief.

Grief and life transitions are best supported though the integration of various approaches to explore your experiences, relationships, and responses as well as making meaning into your new way of living. You can expect sessions and groups to include education, storytelling, creative exploration and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique aka Tapping).

I struggled and found my new way of living. I can tell you that there is hope for you. I am here to meet you where you are in your grief. Life is uncertain right now, you live moment to moment, breath to breath at times... There are many ways to grieve in a healthy way. I look forward to working with you to help you find your way.

Grief and transition is at the heart of therapy. You can expect to be heard, honest dialogue, and creative exploration of your situations. Life is experiential and so is therapy. Homework is encouraged to carry and apply tools learned in therapy into real life. Our work together will benefit other areas of your life.
