I specialize in grief and loss. Grief and loss can include death, break-ups/ divorce, relationship transitions, illness, pet loss, job loss, loss of home, or experiencing a move. Even positive life changes in life can bring feelings of sadness and loss. Grief can be overwhelming and can accompany a lot of additional feelings some of those can be anxiety, anger, sadness, resentment, and relief. I help clients by helping validate and explore these emotions, identifying coping skills and support, and giving them the tools to rebuild their new normal. Other common issues include anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, coping skills, and family conflict.

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

My goal for the first session is to get an understanding of where you are in life and validate your experience.

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

As a former medical social worker with hospice, I was afforded the opportunity to work with people during one of life's most vulnerable and difficult times. It is here where I learned how to help empower clients and help them utilize coping skills. I have done further training on how to apply my knowledge as a grief companion to apply to counseling other types of losses. I have also done further training on the impact of emotionally immature loved ones, toxic relationships, and anxiety-related issues.

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

I love working with people and being their guide to a better quality of life.
