Great to meet you!

Grief doesn't follow anyone else's timeline, and neither does healing. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors across a wide range of life experiences, with particular depth in grief, maternal mental health, anxiety, and the emotional weight of chronic or physical health challenges. As a certified Grief Support Specialist, I bring focused training to one of the most isolating things a person can go through, and I approach every person with genuine curiosity about their whole life, not just their symptoms.

My approach to therapy

My practice grew from a deep compassion for the human condition and a belief in every person's own capacity for healing resilience. I bring an attuned mind, heart, and listening ears to every session, and I work to understand you fully before anything else. Together we focus on your values and what matters most to you, building real tools for processing feelings deeply and regulating your nervous system when life feels unmanageable. Nothing is off the table, and everything is workable.

What you can expect from me

I would be honored to get to know you and join your support system. Our first session is a chance to share what has brought you here and what you are hoping for on the other side. We will move at your pace, and I will listen carefully before offering anything. If you are ready to take a step on your life course journey, I invite you to reach out.
