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.
