I offer individual psychotherapy in person and virtual. I offer my services to men and women that are diagnosed with a long-term medical condition and have worked with those who are in hospice care. It is no surprise that this affects the individual and family. Many experiences depression, anxiety, and grief. Working with individuals providing a safe and judgement free place to express their grief is invaluable. Support during times when we feel utterly drained can significantly alter the course of our lives. Working together to process grief, irrespective of when the loss took place, is crucial. It’s never too premature or too delayed to seek support. Hope is always within reach. Together, let’s discover it.

I am a licensed therapist with over 15 years experience. I approach my work with clients from a trauma-informed perspective and bring a strong sense of compassion that is rooted in the belief that everyone’s pain is valid.
I work extensively with grief and all of the complex emotions that can come up around any kind of loss or unwanted change. Grief is a deeply personal and unique experience for everyone. I work to help my clients feel seen and supported in their grief journey and never judged to be further along or somewhere other than exactly where they are.
I specialize in helping my clients to understand and repair childhood wounds, heal from narcissistic parents and partners, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, recovering from perfectionism and parenting. A large focus of my practice is helping my client’s to develop self-compassion to better understand themselves, their reactions and their relationships. I work to help people form a kinder and more loving relationship with themselves and to let go of self-criticism and move towards a place of love and self-acceptance.
Therapy can be a deeply personal and rewarding experience and I believe that it is essential for you to feel comfortable, safe and understood by your therapist. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so that you can decide if I am a good fit for you. I am currently only offering online session via phone or zoom.

I am an LMFT, a certified grief yoga teacher ™, and trained in EMDR. My specialties include grief and trauma work, and I incorporate a somatic approach into my sessions. I have worked with survivors of sexual abuse, suicidality, trauma, and in intensive programs (such as wraparound and FSP). After experiencing the loss of my beloved dogs, I found purpose in being of support to other grieving pet owners. Losing your companion is heart wrenching and finding hope can often feel impossible. I found power in grieving as a collective and that is how my pet loss group was created. In addition to grief groups, I also hold groups for those in the veterinarian profession. I am a compassionate therapist, passionate about my work, and in my spare time I run, do yoga, read, hangout with my dogs, and spend time with my family. I love nature, animals, helping the community, and fulfilling my passion to serve others through my profession.
I provide individual and group therapy in English and Spanish.
