I offer mental health counseling to individuals who have been broken open to the world through grief and loss: loss of love, of meaning or purpose, of knowing their ‘who’ or ‘where,’ of vitality and health, of core relationships and stories, or of life dreams, unimagined. My approach is both integrative and holistic, with a focus on processing and clearing traumatic experiences to allow for new ways of thinking and feeling.

We all encounter losses throughout our lives, but some losses can leave us overwhelmed and in despair. Loss is hard, even when if it isn't from a death. Maybe you're seeking support to make sense of trauma and heartache woven through your story. Whether your grief is fresh or you’ve carried it for many years, you don’t have to face it alone. I specialize in grief, attachment issues, depression and anxiety. A primary goal of our work together will be restoration - to restore hope and reconnect you to your heart. Helping you move through your pain, rather than being weighed down by it, so you can live more authentically.

Do you struggle with an inner voice that tells you that you are failing or not enough? Is it difficult to identify what you want? Do you consistently prioritize others over yourself? We live in a world that bombards us with messages about who has value and who does not. We are told “just try harder” and things will change. My clients come to therapy because despite a commitment to this hustle for worth, they remain dissatisfied. They feel stuck and resonate with the idea of putting their life on hold until they lose the weight, get the promotion, etc. Many say they are ready for something different but aren't sure where to start.
