My Expertise

• Grief & Bereavement due to progressive illness, and sudden & traumatic loss

• Coping with Serious Illness whether debriefing a recent medical event or coping with a life limiting illness

• Relationship Therapy: processing hurt and strengthening bonds with couples, family, coworkers, or friends

• Healthcare workers: burnout and secondary trauma of doctors, nurses, social workers, and beyond

My Framework

I believe that self awareness & connection can heal. My practice is a place where we can build safety and vulnerability. We will work together to help you better understand yourself & your patterns to navigate these transitions.

I want to help you feel better, and more embodied. Therapy is not always easy, but here in therapy you can experience a deeper connection to yourself: more free from the expectations, fears, or ideas that have been keeping you stuck.

I understand that we do not exist in a vacuum, & healing ourselves & coping with the challenges in our lives requires acknowledging & working against the systems of oppression that contribute to them.
