If you've just landed on my page, I invite you to pause and take a deep breath. In this moment, drop into your body and notice where you’re holding tension or tightness. This work can be hard, but you've already taken the first step on your healing journey. You are prioritizing self-care and beginning to put your needs first. As Vicki Harrison said, 'Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn how to swim.' Grief is a natural response to loss and can arise from many life experiences—whether it's the death of a loved one, a loss of identity, life transitions, infertility struggles, or the loss of a dream. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling sad, lonely, anxious, and disconnected. They question their faith, purpose, and path forward. I, too, have wrestled with these feelings, and this shared understanding informs my compassionate approach. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help clients navigate the many facets of grief and loss, working through unresolved emotions that may be impacting their current lives. Together, we uncover the root causes of these challenges and work through them using a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to each person’s unique needs. It is an honor to walk with individuals on their healing journeys. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process—a delicate dance between mind, body, and spirit—where profound transformations can unfold. Together, we will explore pathways to healing and rediscover the peace and connection you deserve.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, we will review the intake paperwork and other forms, which will serve as the foundation for our working relationship. The therapeutic relationship is essential for healing and transformation. Like building a house, a strong foundation is crucial; without it, the space may feel uneasy and unstable. By establishing a collaborative, safe, non-judgmental, and inviting environment, we begin to build this important therapeutic relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Incorporating my personal experiences into my professional role as a therapist is a powerful way to make a positive impact on my clients. My strengths lie in my ability to provide empathetic and expert support to those who are experiencing grief and loss, especially within the context of raising children with special needs.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Psychodynamic
In my practice, I have extensive experience using the psychodynamic treatment method, a therapeutic approach that explores the depths of clients emotional world, helping clients uncover and process the underlying thoughts and feelings that may contribute to grief and loss. I've witnessed firsthand the profound transformations this method can facilitate, both professionally and personally.I integrate psychodynamic therapy into my practice to help clients explore their subconscious thoughts, past experiences, and the dynamics of their relationships. This approach is particularly valuable when addressing the deep emotional layers that can be intertwined with grief and loss.
Integrative
Integrative therapy is a comprehensive and holistic approach that incorporates various therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness techniques, and somatic therapy. I've seen firsthand the profound transformations this method can facilitate, both professionally and personally. I use integrative therapy to help clients explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of their experiences. This approach is particularly valuable when addressing the deep emotional layers that can be intertwined with grief and loss, allowing for a more comprehensive and profound healing journey.
Mind-body approach
During session, I help client pause and connect to their experiences, sensations, and expressions of their bodies. Humans tend to dissociate from their bodily experiences, getting stuck in their heads and ignore their bodies communication. When client learn how to connect and listen to their bodies, they can release old trauma, negative patterns, or other psychological issues that may hinder them.
Strength-Based
Through a strength-based approach to therapy clients and I work together to use a client’s assets and abilities to instill a sense of purpose, happiness, and empowerment.
