The "lie" of grief is that we are alone in our experience. There is a sincere inclination that we must draw into ourselves, into our archive of memories, and suffer in isolation. When my clients begin their therapeutic work, I recognize that they have already initiated the transformation that takes place in grief. It requires resilience, inertia, and rebellion to reject that initial thought that suffering has to be done in isolation. My clients enter grief counseling in a feat of reconciliation, not only to their lost loved ones, but to the people that remain, and, inexplicably, to themselves.
Drawing from Collaborative Language Systems, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR Therapy, I offer a client-centered approach that helps individuals speak with authenticity and craft new, meaningful narratives. These modalities provide utmost reverence for sacred power found in loss, pain, and healing. Therapy allows us to alchemize darkness into light.
Through the synthesis of these practices, the worth of every healing journey becomes clear, each as valuable as your own. Together, we learn to listen deeply and to write boldly; to be compassionate with the people we love and courageous with the decisions we make. May you discover that in your flourishing, the world around you receives the same invitation.

With a background in Environmental Science, the systemic background to therapy means everything to me. My practice is driven by the invaluable intersection between ourselves, each other, and the natural world. This requires that therapy is not only healing, but sustainable.

Whether you are coming into therapy in a transitional stage or recently through one, our work will be centered around honoring the grief that is inherent to change. Many of my clients notice that as they progress through our sessions, they have an increase of emotional sensitivity, and a return to the people in their lives, feeling closer not only to the living but to those we have lost.
