You might be the person everyone relies on, the steady one who stays calm, manages big responsibilities, and keeps moving forward. But inside, you are carrying a quiet burnout, self-doubt, or grief. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, processing loss, or recovering after years of prioritizing others, you don’t have to carry it alone. You aren't sick, broken, or failing. You are human, responding to a demanding world. Together, we’ll make sense of what you are experiencing, honor your pain, and explore how to build a deeply meaningful life grounded in what truly matters to you, moving at a safe pace.
I specialize in grief, traumatic loss, relational stress, and helping adults navigate life transitions. Having spent over a decade as a pharmacist before counseling, I bring a grounded understanding of high-stakes stress, caregiver fatigue, and physical burnout. I also welcome parents navigating the unimaginable loss of a child.
Seeking therapy isn’t about fixing a flaw. It’s about giving yourself a dedicated space to process life's challenges, gain clarity, and catch your breath. You deserve a place where you can show up as you are, without the pressure to have it all together. When you are ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out.
