Together, we'll work on how to process your loss in light of recommendations from grief experts such as Alan Wolfelt, Nora McInerny, David Kessler, and Megan Devine.
As a former hospice bereavement coordinator with grief training from David Kessler, I can help bring hope to misery. I provide a safe place to feel heard and validated as you walk through an overwhelming maze of pain. You'll learn that you're not doing anything wrong; grief is hard! Instead of simply medicating the pain, we will do real work to address and heal from long-buried conflicts and new heartaches, moving toward a deeper and more lasting wellness. We'll learn that joy and happiness can exist right beside grief, and we'll discover tools to maintain connection to your loved one while learning how to honor them.

Working with both adults and teens, I specialize in anxiety, burnout/ job stress, grief & loss, parent/child conflicts, relationship concerns, school-related problems, & existential/ spiritual concerns.
Our minds are incredible tools for experiencing life- and yet , the mind can so easily slip into anxiety and overthinking. Our memories can bring us joy and a sense of identity, but we can also get "stuck" in past patterns & hurts. Therapy is a unique type of relationship focused on your empowerment and growth. We'll work together to create awareness around those mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns. From here, we'll seek ways to implement positive, conscious changes, based on your personal values and desires.

Other areas of focus include grief and loss, chronic health conditions, end-of life care, Health-At-Every-Size (HAES), as well as emotional support for those who are pre and post Bariatric Surgery.
We view the world through a lens based on our experiences, circumstances, and expectations. Sometimes, this lens can become clouded or distorted by life’s many challenges. It is my belief that we have an innate ability to be resilient at times in which our lens may become scratched, foggy, or even cracked. I utilize a multi-faceted approach to therapy to take a look at ways in which you have navigated and are currently navigating your worldview. Together, we can work on finding, building, and establishing ways in which you find clarity and understanding as it relates to your holistic health.

Sometimes simply living life can leave you feeling overwhelmed, and constantly asking "why". Effective counseling offers you the opportunity to confront those insecurities and negotiate that maze of "why" emerging to feel empowered and secure. Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, issues at school or work, grief or trauma, perhaps substances are ruining your world or you need a Impaired Driving Assessment on which your independence and freedom can rely. I can help you and you can take back what uncertainty and fear have claimed. I have over 20 years of mental health and addictions experience in both inpatient and outpatient environments.

My sessions focus on evidence-based practices in mindfulness, stress reduction, trauma, and grief.
Emily Dickinson’s poem “Not in Vain”, hung on my wall growing up and I often think its essence seeped into my being. She wrote, “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain: If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain”. As therapists, we choose to work within the world of emotions and behaviors, learning healthy techniques to bring balance to our mind, body, and spirit. Counseling is a judgement free setting, with an objective listener; where everyone is welcome and can be supported.

Life presents pain and uncertainty. To learn and live by a perspective that takes you beyond ego, is to find meaning in your suffering as you sit with discomfort and take a closer look at your experience with vulnerability. Finding balance within yourself is not gained through the absence of worry and adversity-it’s discovered through a process of understanding and practicing self- acceptance and self-compassion while in the midst of life struggles. Let's explore your relationship with the negative aspects of human experience. As you look inward with honesty and without harsh judgement you can find yourself closer to your true self.
