My Background and Approach

I specialize in grief and anxiety, including but not limited to from a death, divorce, disease or other life change. I have worked as a grief therapist for the last 17 years. Grief from any significant loss including death, divorce, loss of job, etc. can be overwhelming. Anxiety, anger, guilt, shock and intense sadness are common reactions. Talking with an educated professional can help. The personal care I provide allows me to best address your issues, identify coping strategies to meet your individual needs and to promote your growth. My goal is to help you heal; to remember with less pain, feel empowered, at peace and confident that you can navigate through life's challenges and be happy again.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has the ability to be happy. Sometimes changes in our lives beyond our control interfere with our ability to cope. When this occurs, I have found through working with individuals helps to better navigate through this process. My goal is to help you be aware of your feelings, educate you about grief and the way it can impact your life and talk about things you can do to navigate through this horrible process. I don't discriminate again anyone and have worked with clients from many various backgrounds.
