LCSW, 7 years of experience
Are you struggling with grief, loss, or life after a major transition? Losing someone you love—or navigating anticipatory grief when illness changes everything—can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing. As a licensed therapist with specialized experience in grief counseling, loss therapy, and bereavement support, I help clients find understanding, comfort, and hope in some of life’s hardest seasons. I bring over 5 years of experience working in hospice and end-of-life care, where I’ve supported individuals and families through anticipatory grief, complicated grief, and 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 after loss.
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.
Grief and loss come in many forms—death of a loved one, caregiving stress, changes in health, divorce, or other major life transitions. I specialize in supporting adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or isolated in their grief journey. I also help those facing anticipatory grief when illness, aging, or hospice care begins to shift family dynamics and bring difficult emotions to the surface. I provide compassionate grief 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 after loss. 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. Whether you are facing bereavement, anticipatory grief, or life changes that feel overwhelming, therapy can help you feel less alone and more supported. Together, we’ll work on healthy coping skills, restoring balance, and moving toward healing.
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.
