About My Clients

Have you been carrying a loss that feels heavy and hard to explain? Does grief arrive in waves when you least expect it leaving you feeling overwhelmed? Grief can be painful and isolating and it can change how you experience the world. You do not have to move through this alone. I offer trauma-informed grief counseling in a calm supportive space where your experience is respected and your nervous system can begin to feel safer. Together we will work at your pace to help you move toward healing.

My Background and Approach

My approach is active, collaborative, and grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We’ll focus on what is most distressing for you right now and develop practical tools to help you navigate grief and anxiety with more ease. Along the way, you’ll learn how to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while building resilience that supports long term healing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I acknowledge that it can be challenging to take the first step toward healing, so I consider it an honor to walk alongside each person and offer support. I am committed to providing a diversity-inclusive, culturally humble therapeutic approach in order to empower clients with the necessary skills and tools to find healing and growth.
