I aim to make therapy a non-judgmental, collaborative space where there is room for all stories and experiences. I enjoy working with folks from diverse backgrounds and various identities, including fellow LGBTQIA+ individuals. I specialize in working with folks who are dealing with many types of grief (death, identity, divorce, retirement), life-transitions, managing the stress of caregiving for a sick or disabled loved one, and coping with terminal illness/end of life issues. I also have experience working with a wide variety of other issues such as trauma, dementia, anxiety, depression, stress, and intimate partner violence.
I offer a compassionate, empathetic and relational approach to therapy rooted in the belief that you are the expert on you! Healing is not a linear or one size fits all process - Let me help you heal from past traumas, construct your new normal, gain confidence in yourself, learn to trust your own judgment and experiences.
Whether you’re coping with the loss of a loved one, managing caregiver stress burnout or trying to come to terms with a dementia or terminal diagnosis talking can help! The therapy space is a place where we can explore topics that your friends and loved ones may struggle to discuss such as grief, loss, reversal of caregiving roles, burnout, and death/dying.
