I specialize in working with those who are experiencing grief or are navigating life transitions of all kinds. Any loss or unexpected life event has the potential to turn your world upside down. And amid this chaos, many people receive or internalize messages to “be strong” or “tough it out.”  But avoiding or denying pain doesn’t make it go away. In fact, it can keep you stuck. Therapy with me allows for full expression of your true self, builds on the strengths you already possess, and expands your toolkit to address areas in need of change and growth. My work is grounded in the strengths-based Satir Growth Model and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a branch of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that incorporates mindfulness and focuses attention on your values, or what matters most to you in your life. Clients have told me they appreciate my authenticity, compassion, and ability to stay present with deep pain. It would be my honor to work with you and earn your trust.
