Grief very often leads, directly or indirectly, to financial challenges that are emotional, spiritual and ultimately material to the real world.
As both a Certified Financial Therapist and a Certified Grief Educator, I help clients navigate their relationship with money in the full context of their grief, with deep empathy and understanding, to get to a better place of peace and acceptance, and ultimately to identify and achieve meaningful and realistic goals.

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.

I specialize in helping teens and adults heal from trauma and loss. We all experience loss in both small and large ways. It may be a death of a loved one, a divorce, a job loss, or maybe a move, but these changes can throw us into a state of disequilibrium and can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we even become stuck, unable to move forward in positive ways. I provide a warm, person-centered approach to therapy and together we can begin the healing process and help you rediscover what brings meaning to your life.
I also have experience in counseling individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, family conflict, adjustment, identity, and relationship issues. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Associate Clinical Counselor (APCC), a Certified Grief Counseling Specialist, and am in the process of completing my Certification in Traumatic Stress Studies. I am currently providing these services through Telehealth therapy. Telehealth services are provided through HIPAA compliant video conferencing.
