If you've lost someone to suicide, you know that grief doesn't fit neatly into a box, and finding a therapist who truly understands that kind of loss can feel impossible. I've spent my career doing crisis work alongside police departments and mobile crisis units, and I specialize in working with people navigating suicide loss, as well as first responders and fellow mental health professionals who carry more than most people realize. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
Therapy should feel both supportive and empowering, and that is exactly what I work to create. I am a licensed clinical social worker who brings a warm, empathetic presence to every session, so that you can explore your experiences without judgment.
I believe we all carry an inner resilience that can be activated and drawn on when life gets hard. My job is to understand how you see yourself and how you see what is in front of you, and then work alongside you from there. I see adults navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and substance use, as well as people looking for a steady, nonjudgmental place to work through whatever they are carrying. If that sounds like where you are, reach out.
