Specialties

Welcome to my therapy practice, where I specialize in providing compassionate support for a variety of challenges: Loss of Loved Ones, Chronic or Life-Limiting Illness, and Caregiver Support for individuals and families.

Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working in various roles, including leading community-based palliative care programs and offering support through bereavement counseling. Through teaching and lecturing, I’ve addressed a range of important topics, such as dementia caregiving, anticipatory grief, and compassionate communication with those facing illness. Additionally, I’ve facilitated grief education for clinicians, helping to bring new perspectives and up-to-date theories to those supporting others.

I embrace a strength-based perspective. I focus on transformation, healing and growth by offering coping skills, interpersonal and relational support, and guidance. Helping you find self-compassion is central to my approach.

Feel free to reach out and schedule a free fifteen minute initial consultation.

Together, we can explore ways to empower you through this challenging time.

Grief

Grief is a deeply personal journey, where each path is unique. It goes beyond mere sorrow, encompassing the complexities of remembrance, the challenges of moving forward, and the profound transformation grief brings to everyday life. If you are grappling with overwhelming emotions, seeking to find meaning amid loss, or simply need a compassionate space to mourn, I am here to provide attentive listening and supportive guidance.

Together, we will navigate this journey, honoring your individual experience and discovering pathways towards healing.

Caregiving

Caregiving is a profound experience marked by boundless love and dedication, yet it also presents emotional and logistical challenges that can be daunting to navigate alone. Whether you are seeking strategies to manage stress, support with navigating family dynamics, connection to resources or a safe space to process the array of emotions that caregiving brings, I am here to offer compassionate assistance.

Together, we can work on nurturing your well-being and equipping you with the resilience and tools needed to embrace this role confidently and with grace.

Illness

Receiving a diagnosis can feel like embarking on an unfamiliar journey, stirring a whirlwind of emotions such as fear, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of loss. Suddenly, you are faced with a complex medical reality that impacts every aspect of your daily life. Whether you are confronting Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, ALS or other challenging conditions, I am here to provide steadfast support. Together, we will explore ways to cope, draw upon inner strength, and cultivate resilience in the face of uncertainty, ensuring you are supported every step of the way.

Fee per session is $250. Sessions are 50 minutes, including 15 minute free initial consultation.

Payment is due at the time of each session using a credit card or HSA/FSA card.

To help you determine benefits, here are questions to ask your insurance provider:

Do I have a deductible? How much is it, and how much has been met?
What percentage of the therapy fee is covered?
How many sessions are covered per year?
