Whether you're navigating a painful loss, or adjusting to a new normal, I offer a compassionate and intuitive space for insight and regulation.
First session
In our first session, you can expect a warm, collaborative space where nothing is too big or too small to share. I'll meet you where you are, whether you are struggling to regulate your nervous system, processing grief, feeling stuck in similar patterns, or you just want to feel more present. I incorporate psychoeducation with ancestral wisdom to help you understand what's happening in your brain and body, and we'll work together towards clarity, and safety.
Strengths
I provide grief counseling and grief therapy for adults navigating loss, including parent loss, pet loss, complicated grief, identity loss, and life transitions following a profound loss. My work is informed by polyvagal theory, somatic therapy, and evidence-based grief models, supporting nervous system regulation and emotional integration at a pace that honors each client's experience.
Ideal clients
You might be a good fit for my practice if: ~ You've experienced a profound loss that changed everything, and others do not seem to understand or you do not feel seen ~ You're struggle with chronic autoimmune challenges ~You've tried therapy before, but it felt too clinical, or disconnected from your body ~You're intuitive, sensitive, or witchy, and want a therapist who gets that side of you.
Treatment methods
Mind-body approach
I offer a mind body approach that blends talk therapy with somatic work and intuitive tools. You might find relief not just in sharing your story, but also reconnecting with your nervous system. I often describe my work as witchy + intuitive psychotherapy, grounded in evidence, but led by your inner wisdom.
Trauma Informed Care
I work with gentleness and without judgement as we explore your experiences, as we all have a past. I've supported many clients through anxiety, panic, and hypervigilance as well as grief, burnout and trauma related reactions, illnesses and fatigue.
Grief Therapy
I believe grief is sacred. We can grieve people, pets, places, identities, and relationships. Each form of grief deserves a nonjudgemental space with empathetic witnessing. After experiencing parent and pet loss, I have profound compassion for others experiencing grief who need assistance and care.
