My goal is to make anyone coping with grief feel seen and normalized. If you’re curious about how art can support healing and are open to creativity as an emotional outlet, we could be a good fit! I value authentic connection, compassion, humor, and honesty.
While grief cannot be fixed, I aim to be a supportive companion, helping to soften the intensity of loss. I will hold space for emotions while offering gentle guidance through conversation and art-making. I will help you feel less alone, reconnect with the world, and find ways to continue a relationship with your person that’s died.
I specialize in grief support for all ages, along with trauma and life changes. I am a grieved too and while I can’t know your exact experience, I can help hold the big feelings so you don’t have to do it alone.
As a queer therapist, I also understand what it’s like to seek belonging and create an affirming space for it.
I hold the grief and bereavement community close to my heart. It would be an honor to support you. I look forward to learning more about you and your person you lost. Let’s use what you love to safely explore and express your emotions in transformative ways.
