“When we think of loss, we think of the loss through death of people we love. But loss is a far more encompassing theme in our life. For we lose not only through death, but also by leaving and being left, by changing and letting go and moving on”
– Judith Viorst

How can I help you?

Grief Counseling

Whether the loss is due to death, divorce, or other significant life changes, I provide support to help individuals navigate difficult and challenging emotions, build coping skills and explore meaning and purpose.

Anxiety Therapy

My goal is to understand your triggers, identify negative and challenging thought patterns and reframe narratives that no longer serve you.

Pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum therapy

If you’re experience concerns related to pregnancy, transitioning to motherhood or general stress about parenting. I support those who may need support, educate and guidance in how to manage these transitions. I also provide support to women experiencing infertility and pregnancy loss.

Couples Counseling

My goal in couples therapy is to enhance and explore areas of discontentment and disconnection and allow space for understanding, exploration and rediscovering one another.

General Life Transitions

Transitions can often bring up feelings of loss, anxiety, depression and uncertainty. These are natural and normal and often can be barriers to the change we need or want. Together we can create goals and coping to support you through these changes, explore roles and identity that gives you purpose and build resilience to help you cope with change

Women’s Issues

I provide support to all genders, however, specialize in issues to those who identify as female. Some challenges that women face tend to be work related stress, people pleasing, setting boundaries and feeling overwhelmed by carrying the mental load of balancing work and family.

LGBT Counseling and support

The LGBTQ+ community is very important to me and understand the unique challenges and experiences associated with this community. I strive to create a safe space for people to express themselves, address LGBT issues, like discrimination, bullying, gender expression and relationship and family dynamics.
