Professional Background
With years of hands-on experience, I bring a deep understanding of crisis response, life transitions, and emotional support. I specialize in helping clients through medical crises, significant life changes, and various forms of grief, including losses unrelated to death. My therapeutic approach centers around talk therapy, encouraging clients to explore their personal experiences and family dynamics to gain greater self-awareness and clarity.

• Individual & Couples Therapy
  I offer tailored therapy for both individuals and couples, aimed at enhancing emotional health and improving relationship dynamics.

• Solution-Focused Therapy
  This approach emphasizes identifying strengths and building on them to find practical, forward-thinking solutions.

• Case Management
  I coordinate care and connect clients with resources to ensure they receive the comprehensive support needed during difficult times.

• Life Transitions
  Whether you're facing a career change, retirement, or another major shift, I provide supportive guidance to help you move forward with resilience.

• Grief, Bereavement & Non-Death Loss
  Loss comes in many forms. I provide compassionate space for clients to work through grief—whether from the death of a loved one or other significant life losses.

• Stress Management
  I teach practical tools and coping strategies to help manage day-to-day stress and maintain emotional balance.

• Medical Family Therapy
  I support those affected by medical challenges, helping them navigate the emotional and relational impact of illness.

• Advance Care Planning & End-of-Life Support
  I assist clients and their families with advance directives, end-of-life decisions, and navigating these sensitive conversations with care and clarity​

Why Work With Me:

My ability to connect with people and my deep understanding of human challenges allow me to provide meaningful, effective support. Clients appreciate the safe, respectful space I create as we work together to promote healing and personal growth.
