If you recently lost a loved one through death or a traumatic breakup, you are likely in the grieving process. You may be overwhelmed by waves of emotion or feel like the rug has been pulled from beneath your feet and you have not yet found solid ground. Traumatic loss abruptly changes everything. Your world will never be the same as it was, but you can find a new way forward. I specialize in helping courageous people process deep emotions and get through grief while finding purpose in life. Healing from loss takes time and deep emotional work. Over the past 8 years as a Hospice social worker and Bereavement therapist, I’ve witnessed healing from grief complicated by conflicted relationships, medical trauma and underlying mental health challenges. Often, we get stuck in circular thoughts that produce feelings of guilt or regret as we replay scenes wishing we could go back in time. Together we can work assess places where you may be stuck and unlock compassion and growth. If you are looking for a counselor who can provide you support, education, resources and unconditional positive regard, please reach out to me. You do not have to go through this alone.

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

During our first few sessions we will discuss your grief symptoms and review your loss history. We will talk about your experience and explore how you are coping. We will look at what is supporting you, and what may be draining your energy. I will offer resources and education as we work together. This work can be emotional, but clients often tell me they find some relief after even the first session. I encourage clients to schedule time after each session to rest and digest the work that was done.

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

Grief can leave us feeling broken open as the emotional experience is so chaotic and our priorities can shift dramatically. My strength is to actively listen and help you sort through and process experiences. I am warm and validating and have witnessed many heal from trauma and grief. Healing takes time and it is worth it to invest in your wellbeing.
