Hi! I'm your go-to therapist for all things grief. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual virtual therapy to clients in California. My specialty areas are pregnancy loss, fertility challenges, and cancer support. What do these areas have in common? Grief. That's where I come in. I have a deep capacity to hold someone's grief while they experience it in its entirety and then learn how to cope with it as it shows up in different parts of their lives. Working in the NICU, ante/postpartum, and oncology units for 4 years combined with my personal experience with traumatic loss and cancer informs my work.
I integrate somatic work to help you reconnect with your body and ease physical manifestations of grief, while narrative therapy offers a space for you to reexamine your story in a way that supports healing. With DBT, we work on building mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance so you can regain a sense of balance.
You’re deserving of support, understanding, and healing. Whether you’re ready to dive deep or you’re just beginning to explore what you need, I’m here to meet you where you are. Grief can make you feel terribly lonely, but you do not have to sit with it alone. If my approach resonates with you, I encourage you to connect with me for a 15-min free consult.

Somatic work integrates bodily sensations and experiences into the therapeutic process. Through somatic mindfulness practices, I guide clients in exploring physical sensations related to emotions or memories, helping them connect with and release stored grief and trauma held in the body. This helps my clients to access and process emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally.
