I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have worked over the last 15 + years helping people through difficult times in their lives. I am compassionate, caring and offer a safe place to express your feelings without judgement, to improve your life regardless of the issues you face. I help people experiencing loss and grief, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ issues, life changes, self-worth, relationship/marital issues, chronic/terminal illness, adjustment at retirement, and many other issues that maybe keeping you from living your best life. The holistic approach I incorporate is always tailored to your specific issues and needs.
My passion is helping people who have experienced a loss. Loss and grief is universal, often debilitating and difficult to navigate. You may have experienced the loss of a loved one, relationship/marriage, job, home, pet, health, identity, family after coming out LGBTQ+, career/self worth at retirement, empty nest. The list goes on and on.
Society is not comfortable with displays of grief after a certain period of time. You have the right to grieve the loss you have experienced. I myself have experienced great loss and grief over the last three years. I understand. The journey can be very lonely. Let me help you embrace grief and find your way through it at The Way Through Grief Counseling.
