About My Clients

I understand that navigating grief and loss can be an incredibly challenging journey. My clients come from diverse backgrounds, each facing unique experiences related to divorce, job loss, life transitions, and the death of loved ones. I provide a compassionate space where individuals can explore their feelings, find support, and develop coping strategies. My goal is to empower you to heal and grow, helping you to rediscover hope and resilience in the face of life's most difficult moments.

My Background and Approach

As a trauma-informed psychotherapist and Fellow in Thanatology, I specialize in grief and loss, drawing on extensive training and experience to guide individuals, couples, and families through their healing journeys. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) to address the complex emotional landscapes associated with trauma and grief. IFS allows us to explore the different parts of yourself that may be struggling, while NARM focuses on the impact of relational trauma on your sense of self and connection. In addition to one-on-one therapy, I facilitate telehealth grief therapy groups, providing a supportive community for those navigating similar experiences. My aim is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can process your feelings, build resilience, and find meaning in your experiences. Together, we will work towards healing, fostering deeper connections, and embracing the possibility of renewal amidst loss.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone deserves compassion, respect, and understanding, especially when facing mental health challenges. My approach is about creating a safe and supportive environment where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings. I see therapy as a partnership. I’m here to help you tap into your own strengths and find the solutions that work for you. I truly believe in your ability to grow and change. It’s important to me to create a welcoming space that honors your unique background and experiences. Together, we’ll focus on building trust and open communication, which can help you develop healthier relationships with yourself and others. My ultimate goal is to guide you on your journey toward healing and personal growth, helping you lead a more fulfilling life. I’m committed to being a supportive partner in this transformative process, and I’m excited to walk this path with you.
