Grief does not follow a schedule, and neither does the stress of holding a family together through it. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and the life transitions that can quietly take over everything else. I have a particular focus on older adults and the families supporting them, especially through grief, caregiving, and the big changes that come with aging. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable being honest with me from the very first conversation.

Our work together is focused on helping you understand what is driving the anxiety or stress, build coping skills that actually fit your life, and move forward feeling steadier and more confident. If faith is part of how you want to process what you are going through, I am comfortable bringing that into our conversations in a way that feels natural and meaningful to you, though it is never required. We go deep rather than wide, especially around anxiety, grief, and the pressure of life transitions, because that focus is what leads to real change. I work best with people who want a space to be fully honest without worrying about being judged.

Our first session is simply a conversation. We will talk about what brought you here, what you have been carrying, and what you would like to feel different in your life, no pressure to have it all figured out ahead of time. You can come as you are. If this sounds like the kind of support you are looking for, I would be glad to hear from you and start that conversation together.
