Grief is my specialty. I've lived it, not just studied it. I was a guardian and caregiver for my parent through Bipolar Disorder and Alzheimer's Disease, which means I understand what it's like to grieve someone who is still here, to navigate a complex medical system on someone else's behalf, and to carry your own needs while holding everyone else's.


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience across mental health, child welfare, hospice, and hospital settings, and I hold a Doctorate in Health Sciences. I work with individuals facing grief at every stage: life cycle changes, chronic illness, and end-of-life. I'm also trained as an end-of-life doula and hold certifications in palliative and trauma-informed care.

I'm licensed in Indiana and Minnesota.

I work with adults facing addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles, as well as athletes, from professionals to serious weekend competitors, looking to strengthen their mental game. I also support clients preparing for or integrating a psychedelic-assisted therapy experience, a less common but increasingly requested area of practice. Outside the therapy room, I'm renovating my house, rereading the classics, and still chasing a decent golf swing.
