About My Clients

I specialize in working with individuals who are coping with grief. Loss occurs throughout our lives. If left unresolved, these feelings unexpectedly invade and fragment our sense of self and can cause depression and anxiety, emphasizing self-doubt. Loss could look like many things at different times in our lives and can include: the loss of a loved one, a pet, the loss of a career or job, loss of health, cognitive decline, and loss of social/emotional support

My Background and Approach

I utilize an integrative approach with my clients, both honoring space to process and name the loss and it's impact and meaning while working with my clients to develop helpful new ways of coping. We do not process loss and move on; rather our losses become part of the fabric of our lives. I have worked both in groups and with individuals utilizing a psychodynamic model attuning to the person in their situation through active listening, providing support to help clients develop coping strategies necessary to regain a more fulfilling life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
