Hi there, I am a licensed mental health counselor and certified thanatologist. Not familiar? Don't worry-you're not alone! Simply put, it means I specialize in grief, bereavement, and the psychology of end of life issues. I welcome clients from all walks of life and have significant experience working with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts and family dynamics, and trauma. Due to the nature of telehealth, I have found it works best for those 12 years of age and up.

There are several types of therapy with which I align. In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy, and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. Similar to seeing a medical doctor, some people respond better to certain types of treatment/therapy, so I often gauge this decision based off of the best fit for my client.

My ultimate goal is to offer my client's a compassionate space to be curious about what brought them to counseling in the first place. I will listen with the hope that I can understand what it's been like to walk in my client's shoes and to offer a supportive and encouraging presence that will facilitate the growth and change they desire.
