LCSW, 7 years of experience
Grief can feel overwhelming, isolating, and heavy — whether it comes after a loss, during a loved one’s illness, or while navigating the stress of caregiving. I specialize in supporting adults facing grief, anticipatory grief, chronic illness, caregiver burnout, and the challenges that come with terminal illness. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you don’t have to carry it all alone. Together, we’ll explore ways to process your emotions, find meaning, and move toward healing at your own pace. If you’re feeling exhausted, stuck, or weighed down by loss or uncertainty, I’m here to walk with you through it. I bring over 7 years of experience working in hospice and end-of-life care, where I’ve supported individuals and families through the unique challenges that come with caregiving and loss. My approach is warm, compassionate, and client-centered. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can express your emotions freely, learn healthy coping strategies, and find meaning and healing.
Your first session is a safe, welcoming space to share your story and explore what brought you to therapy. We’ll spend time getting to know each other, discussing your goals, and identifying the challenges you’re facing—whether that’s grief, caregiver burnout, infertility struggles, or any other type of loss. You can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where your feelings are heard and validated, and we’ll begin exploring practical strategies to support your healing and growth.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are my compassion, deep understanding of grief, and ability to meet clients exactly where they are. I bring a calm, steady presence and years of experience supporting individuals and families through the hardest seasons of life. Clients often share that I help them feel seen, understood, and less alone in their grief journey.
I work with adults who are navigating the many layers of grief — whether from the loss of a loved one, the anticipatory grief that comes with a terminal illness, or the stress and burnout of being a caregiver. My clients are often those who feel overwhelmed by sadness, worry, or exhaustion and want a space where they can be truly heard and supported. Many are adjusting to life after loss, balancing the demands of chronic illness, or struggling to find themselves again while caring for someone else. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the weight of these experiences and can help you move toward healing, resilience, and self-compassion, I may be a good fit for you. I provide compassionate grief and bereavement counseling that allows you to process loss at your own pace. My work is rooted in creating a safe, supportive space where you can honor your story, explore emotions, and discover meaning. Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as mindfulness, CBT, and strengths-based therapy, I help clients build resilience, reduce anxiety, and find a renewed sense of purpose.
Grief therapy helps individuals navigate the emotional pain of loss—whether from death, separation, or major life changes. Grief therapy is important because it reminds us that you don’t have to walk through loss alone. Having support can ease the weight of isolation, help you make sense of what you’re feeling, and allow space for both tears and moments of hope. My goal is to walk alongside you as you learn to live with your grief and slowly discover the possibility of meaning, connection, and healing again.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective and widely used approaches in therapy. It helps people understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Often, we get caught in unhelpful thought patterns that increase stress, anxiety, or sadness. CBT provides practical tools to recognize those patterns, challenge them, and replace them with more balanced and supportive ways of thinking.
For clients who wish to bring faith into the healing process, I offer Christian counseling that blends spiritual support with professional care. For those who are not seeking a faith-based approach, I provide the same compassionate space to honor your story and support your journey in a way that feels true to you.
