I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 5 years of experience as a hospice social worker and bereavement counselor. I am skilled in providing compassionate, client-centered support to individuals and families coping with end-of-life issues and grief and loss. I have an extensive background in grief counseling, crisis intervention, and developing tailored care plans to address emotional and psychological needs.

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

In a first session, the primary goal is to build rapport, gather information about you loss and emotional state, and establish a foundation for the therapeutic relationship. This session sets the tone for future work by creating a safe space where you feel heard, validated, and supported.

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

I understand that grief is messy, unpredictable, and deeply personal. Grief isn’t linear—it comes in waves, sometimes when you least expect it. I help clients understand that their healing process won’t follow a straight path, and that setbacks are normal. By guiding clients through the ups and downs of grief, I help them develop the tools to cope with difficult moments while honoring their feelings.

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

I enjoy working with individuals facing significant life changes, including loss related to death or anticipation of a death, miscarriage, or infertility. My goal is to guide clients through the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral challenges of grief, helping them adapt to life after loss while fostering emotional healing and resilience. I enjoy working with those who are feeling isolated in their journey and need a safe place to go to process emotions and feel validated.
