With over 15 years’ experience helping people navigate trauma, loss, and grief, including processing the death of a loved one or changes in identity and core beliefs as a result of loss, people come to me to have conversations they are not able to have with others in their lives.  I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to share painful and difficult feelings, such as anger and guilt, and allow a place and opportunity for clients to experience their grief in a way that feels authentic and real.

Because loss and the grief that follows is experienced by all of us at one time or another, I, too, have experienced profound grief after a loss.  Because of this shared experience, I have always enjoyed working with others who have experienced loss, assisting them in navigating their grief to continue to live the life they want to lead.

I draw upon evidence-based practices, including CBT, Narrative and Exposure Therapy, and Mindfulness, while remaining client-centered.  Understanding that exploring painful pasts or current losses can be frightening and overwhelming, therefore, it is important to me that my work is done at a pace my clients are able to manage, process, and control.

My professional career includes working with veterans and active military, first responders, refugees, torture survivors, teachers and school counselors, university and school-aged students, nursing facility staff and residents, and community members in emotional crisis and distress.
