In person, telephone or zoom meetings to help you and your family cope with any kind of Grief or Loss. It could be loss of a family member, loss of a job, loss of a pet, loss of a friend. Whatever it is, I would like to help you through this difficult time.

I am a Certified Grief Educator, Marriage and Family Therapist, Developmental Psychologist, Certified Life Coach, and Child Play Therapist.

Grief is something that does not go away because, as David Kessler says, It is about loving. Grief changes and subsides and can return in waves.  I offer you support to help you navigate your grief.

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.
