Above all else, I believe that the therapeutic relationship between the clinician and client is the most important part of the therapy process. I do my best to build a safe space for us to work together, and ensure that we are a good fit before moving forward. With a lot of empathy and a little bit of humor, I believe that we can work together to make positive change based on your individual goals. I try to create a safe environment where all emotions can be felt and validated.
I have worked with people working through many different issues, but I am most passionate about working with those who are experiencing grief and trauma in all forms. Your grief deserves space - I welcome you to bring your grief as it is, in its rawest and realest forms, to be seen as it deserves. I am trained in EMDR and a trauma-informed provider.
In addition to offering individual therapy, I offer an in-person, closed 8-week grief therapy group three times per year. If you are interested in joining the grief therapy group, please visit my practice's website or send me an email.

Grief can mean loss of a number of different things, including the death of a family member, friend, pet, or pregnancy; it can mean loss of a job, income, or relationship; it can encompass any other loss that feels personal to you. To me, holding space and and creating a narrative to process these devastating and emotionally complex changes is how we move through.
