Therapist

You want more than symptom management. You're not just looking for coping strategies. You want to understand yourself. You want to grieve fully, not efficiently. You want a therapeutic relationship that can hold complexity, contradiction, and mystery. You want someone who won't rush you toward resolution before you're ready, and who trusts that you have within you what healing requires. You want to be seen, not diagnosed, not fixed, but genuinely witnessed.

I'm a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 25 years of experience, and grief is at the heart of my work. I understand grief not as a problem to be solved but as a profound human process, one that touches identity, relationship, body, and spirit all at once. I'm also a certified grief educator, which means I bring both clinical depth and real psychoeducational grounding to our work together.
