Introduction

Life can feel heavy when you’re carrying too much - stress, loss, anxiety, or old wounds that still shape the present. Whether you’re moving through grief, navigating a major life transition, or healing from trauma, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and find steadiness again. I offer a compassionate, grounded space to explore what’s been difficult and to identify what you most need right now. My background includes work across diverse settings - private practice, community mental health, the criminal justice system and hospice care. Supporting individuals through grief and bereavement has deeply informed my belief in the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of feeling seen and understood, especially in times of loss or uncertainty. Finding the right therapeutic fit is an essential part of the healing process. If you are seeking guidance through a period of change, self-exploration, or personal transformation, I welcome you to reach out. I am honored to accompany people as they reclaim a sense of steadiness, meaning, and connection in their lives.
