If you are dealing with the kind of loss that changes how you move through the world, like the death of someone important to you, a suicide loss, or ongoing grief connected to chronic pain or illness, then you are my ideal client. It may feel like your world has shifted in ways other people don’t fully understand. Maybe you're exhausted from trying to hold it all together. My work centers on helping people make space for what they have been through while slowly rebuilding a life that still feels meaningful. My style is real, collaborative, and goal-oriented while moving at a pace that respects your humanity and nervous system.
I work with adults navigating grief after suicide and other traumatic losses, other traumatic events, chronic pain, and the impact of medical experiences that have changed how you see your body and your future. I offer telehealth to clients in 40+ PSYPACT states, which allows us to meet in the comfort of your own space.
Our work will focus on processing what happened and identifying how symptoms/triggers are showing up in the present so you can feel like you are in the driver's seat instead of feeling like grief/trauma/pain controls your life. We'll also work to reconnect with what still matters, even while grief or pain is present. If this fits, let's schedule a call!
