Introduction

Taking that first step is huge and finding the right therapist fit is important. I am passionate about helping adult clients navigate life’s stressors. Many of my clients struggle with identifying and validating their emotional experiences, which impacts all areas of their lives. I work collaboratively with my clients as they learn to cope with life changes, relationship struggles, grief and loss, and complex family relationships. As you learn to better understand yourself and your current coping style, we will work together to develop new strategies to support the struggles that brought you to therapy. Additionally, I recognize the uniqueness of the human-animal bond. I provide compassionate support for pet parents as they navigate anticipatory grief or are working through the profound sorrow that comes from the loss of a beloved pet. Through individual therapy, I provide a safe, empathetic space to process emotions, honor your bond, and offer grief education to support your healing journey. I will tailor my approach based on your goals and needs. With a background in evidence-based treatments, I use an integrative framework where I blend behavioral and relational therapeutic approaches to support change. I have extensive training and experience with addiction/recovery, grief/loss and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I show up authentically and passionately for my clients. Change is hard, even when we seek it out and welcome it, it can be hard. I have appreciation for the fact that clients allow me to be a part of their change journey.
