About me

Just because you carry your grief doesn’t mean it’s not heavy. Grief can be lonely; overwhelming sadness, feeling numb, guilt, anger, avoidance, or burnout can make you feel disconnected from others and change your perception of yourself and the world around you. With the right help, you can feel better, find meaning in your life, and see beauty in the world again. I have 19 years of experience in grief counseling, navigating life transitions, treating mental illness, end of life issues, and providing trauma-informed care to adults struggling with grief and loss, life-limiting illness, caregiver fatigue, and depression. Please note I provide online therapy only at this time.
