How I Can Help You

When grief gets stuck in your body — that chest tightness, the panic attacks, the inability to breathe deeply — it's because traumatic loss lives in parts of your brain that don't use language. Your thinking brain goes offline while your survival brain stays in emergency mode. That's why talk therapy alone can feel like describing a fire without putting it out. Art therapy lets you express wordless pain through color, texture, and movement, bypassing the need to find perfect words for the unspeakable. Somatic therapy helps reset your nervous system so your body understands you're safe now, even while grieving. The racing heart slows, sleep returns, and you can breathe again. Together, these approaches work where words can't reach. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Art Therapist with over 15 years specializing in traumatic and disenfranchised grief. I offer 55-minute, 90-minute, and intensive sessions, all online from your safe space.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

I believe grief is love with nowhere to go. In our culture that rushes people to "move on," I create space for your grief to exist without judgment or timeline. I won't minimize your pet loss because you didn't lose a human, or suggest your miscarriage grief should be over by now. I understand that losing your job can feel like a death, that divorce grief is real even when you chose it, and that losses without proper goodbyes leave lasting wounds. I approach each person's loss as unique and sacred, whether society recognizes it or not. I'm particularly passionate about supporting those whose losses aren't recognized by society; the kinds that don't get flowers or bereavement leave. I believe in the power of creative expression to hold what words cannot, and in your body's wisdom to heal when given the right support. Together we'll honor your loss while helping you find moments of peace alongside your grief.
