My practice is focused on helping individuals and families recover from loss, whether you are grieving a recent loss or processing grief from years ago. I believe that grief is a deeply human response to loss that can be perfectly normal and feel awful at the same time. I offer authentic, open-hearted presence and compassionate witness to whatever emotions arise in grief, and believe that truly being seen in our grief is an initial step in healing. Rather than "moving on" I believe we learn to carry and integrate loss into our life story.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and am certified in Grief Counseling with the American Institute of Health Care Professionals. I have years of experience in hospice care, providing support for individuals and families coping with serious illness or the loss of a loved one. I also offer grief support for non-death losses and life transitions.
My approach to counseling is accessible, genuine, and respects that you are the expert on your unique grief and lived experience. I ascribe to the healing benefits of nature, poetry, writing, humor, and movement. I hope to partner with you, hear the story of your loss and of your loved one, and to move together towards healing.
