I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Pennsylvania. I opened my own practice in January 2020 and see clients with a variety of mental health and substance abuse needs. Whether it is the loss of a loved one or the loss of a dream, grief is painful. We as a society do not deal well with grief. We are often told to get over it and move on. Before we can move on, we need to process the loss. Grief work is not about making the grief smaller, it is about us growing bigger than the pain. I am here to sit with you through the pain as you grow bigger.

Life can bring us to places where we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or deeply hurt—whether that’s due to a loss, a traumatic experience, or the emotional weight that life sometimes presents. Grief and trauma are personal experiences, and healing often requires a supportive, compassionate space where you can be understood and begin to process your pain at your own pace. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating the impacts of grief and trauma helping them find their way through complex emotions.
I believe that every person has the capacity for healing, even in the midst of profound pain. I work with individuals to help them understand their emotional responses and develop ways to cope that align with their own values and strengths. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can fully feel and process your grief and experiences without judgment.
I offer individual counseling via in person or telehealth in Portland, Oregon.

Trained Crisis Call Counselor with Didi Hirsch Suicide Prevention Center
Services Offered
I am available to support people navigating their grief journeys through both in-person and online counseling sessions. Having experienced my own traumatic and personal losses has led me to want to serve others in grief, and guide in the understanding that grieving is about connection, not closure. I can personally relate to your grief around sibling and parent loss, loss from suicide, loss from cancer and pet loss.
Grief does not always revolve around a death. Losses that affect our daily lives can include dissolving a marriage, losing a job, or the anticipatory anxiety of the passing of our elderly parents. My goal is to meet each client where they are on their grief journey, provide an open heart, and walk alongside them. This is my way of turning pain into purpose.
