My mission is this: To give people hope and coping skills in challenging times and times of transition. I am trained in several treatment modalities, but Grief Counseling, Solution Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy are my specialties. I tailor my therapy to meet the individual needs of each of my clients. I have experience counseling all ages- and I welcome clients from six years to seniors! I have a passion for working with educators because I have walked in the shoes of a teacher, school counselor and school administrator and I understand the current challenges are they facing. I can also help you process grief and/or trauma, and support you in making relationship or career changes or create long term career goals. My mission is to always give you hope, and help you plan and move into a better life path than where you were when I met you on your journey. I look forward to working with you and building a trusting relationship that will lead you to having hope, feeling peace and competence. I love to help my clients be their authentic self, discover their strengths and gifts, reach goals, achieve dreams, and be their best self in all relationships.

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

I quickly establish a trusting, non-judgmental relationship so you feel safe with me. I guide you through the process of grief with compassion and empathy, helping you find your own unique way forward. I provide education, teach coping skills and help you heal. I will help you get over family/ societal expectations so you are able to find inner peace again. You get to the other side of grief having integrated the loss into your changed life. You can experience joy and happiness, while still honoring the past. You have new skills, beliefs, or relationships. It is possible to have a renewed a sense of identity, with increased meaning and purpose. I encourage you to call today to set up a free consultation.

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

My empathy and ability to form trusting relationships quickly are my biggest strengths, which help me excel in solution-focused and grief counseling. I enjoy working with a wide range of ages, and also working with LGBTQ adolescents and adults.

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

I love to help men, women and teens who have suffered a major loss, sometimes unexpectedly, that has left them feeling lost, confused, unmotivated, or directionless. With empathy, compassion, and extensive training as a grief therapist and using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, I help them move through the pain of a major loss into a place of peace and hope for a better future. Everyone's grief is unique, so I personalize therapy based on their strengths and life experiences. After therapy, clients have experienced healing as they have integrated the loss into their lives, moving forward with renewed confidence, purpose, and new coping skills.
