Individual Therapy

Trauma-focused

EMDR

My approach to grief therapy honors the unique experience of each person and acknowledges there is no timeline for grief. We will begin wherever you are. You deserve a space dedicated to you where you can grieve fully. Grief is a natural response to death and demands care, time, and attention.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#133552) and Certified Grief Educator offering individual therapy and couples therapy in Pasadena, California and online. Other specialties include trauma resilience, psychodynamic therapy, somatic psychology, couples therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy.

What is a Certified Grief Educator?

A Certified Grief Educator is committed to providing the highest level of grief support through education, experience, and insights into the often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief.

Certified Grief Educators completed a certificate program designed by world-renowned grief expert, David Kessler. They bring his unique methodology, tools, and decades of experience to help people navigate the challenges of grief.

Hello,

I offer individual, couple, family, and group therapy. I provide support for those who want to integrate their therapy work with their faith.  Also, I created and present over 18 different workshops to catalyze healing and find more peace. The “Writing is Healing” books I have written facilitate whole person integration and intimacy with God.

In therapy (in person and on-line telehealth), I will support your healing journey with the following issues:

Anxiety, Depression, Grief

Emotional Regulation

Relationship Dynamics

Trauma (PTSD)

Stress Management, Anger, Communication Skills

Family Conflict and Alienation

Domestic Violence

Crisis in Faith

Whole Person Integration

Can therapy help in the grieving process and alleviate your pain? YES.

I offer individual therapy for adults.  Connection with others transforms pain and facilitates healing. You don’t have to do this alone. You can set-up a free consultation with me and speak with someone who’s not afraid to hear about your grief.

My specialization within the field of grief is working with those who’ve had a loved one die by suicide.
