I am a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years experience working in grief and loss. I am a therapist who uses a Narrative Theoretical Framework, which means that you and I can work together to sort through some of these challenges, and I can support you in identifying what you need in this chapter of your life and strategize with you how to achieve your goals. I want to help you feel better. I look forward to getting started to working with you and I hope we can meet soon!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing related to the loss of your loved one. I'll begin grief and loss education as well as education about trauma if needed and I'll begin to talk to you about your self-care and support systems.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a compassionate, empathetic, active listener who believes my client have everything they need within themselves already to heal themselves they may just not know it. My job is to guide them in finding their power and helping them write a beautiful next chapter of their lives.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My passion is working with older adults who have lost a loved one. I come alongside to support and create alongside my client a chapter for the next part of my client's life. I work with anyone who has experienced a traumatic loss and can utilize my training in EMDR to assist clients with symptoms related to trauma related disorders.
