If you've just landed on my page, I invite you to pause and take a deep breath. In this moment, drop into your body and notice where you’re holding tension or tightness. This work can be hard, but you've already taken the first step on your healing journey. You are prioritizing self-care and beginning to put your needs first. As Vicki Harrison said, 'Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn how to swim.' Grief is a natural response to loss and can arise from many life experiences—whether it's the death of a loved one, a loss of identity, life transitions, infertility struggles, or the loss of a dream. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling sad, lonely, anxious, and disconnected. They question their faith, purpose, and path forward. I, too, have wrestled with these feelings, and this shared understanding informs my compassionate approach. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help clients navigate the many facets of grief and loss, working through unresolved emotions that may be impacting their current lives. Together, we uncover the root causes of these challenges and work through them using a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to each person’s unique needs. It is an honor to walk with individuals on their healing journeys. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process—a delicate dance between mind, body, and spirit—where profound transformations can unfold. Together, we will explore pathways to healing and rediscover the peace and connection you deserve.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our initial session, we will review the intake paperwork and other forms, which will serve as the foundation for our working relationship. The therapeutic relationship is essential for healing and transformation. Like building a house, a strong foundation is crucial; without it, the space may feel uneasy and unstable. By establishing a collaborative, safe, non-judgmental, and inviting environment, we begin to build this important therapeutic relationship.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Incorporating my personal experiences into my professional role as a therapist is a powerful way to make a positive impact on my clients. My strengths lie in my ability to provide empathetic and expert support to those who are experiencing grief and loss, especially within the context of raising children with special needs.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve individuals who share a common thread: the courage to confront their grief, loss, and life's complex challenges with a strong desire for healing, growth, and self-discovery. My expertise is tailored to guide you through these intricate and deeply personal journeys. You might be experiencing the profound loss of a loved one, the end of a significant relationship, or other life-altering events. You could be a mother caring for a child with special needs, facing the unique emotional complexities of this journey. Perhaps you're a woman navigating the challenges of infertility, life transitions, or exploring your identity and self-worth. What you have in common is the desire to heal and discover the strength within yourself. You understand that the path to recovery is not one-size-fits-all, and you seek a compassionate and empathetic guide to support you through the unique complexities of your experience.
