As a therapist with over a decade of experience caring for children and their families, I am currently focusing on supporting individuals and couples grieving the death of a child. I understand the unique challenges of daily life and the stressors it throws at us.
My approach
In our time together, you can expect a client-centered approach in a safe and judgment-free space. I aim to support you through the process of grief, loss, and mourning at a pace you are comfortable with. My approach draws from modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Complicated Grief Therapy (CGT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family systems, mindfulness-based approaches, narrative therapy, and trauma-focused techniques.
My focus
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are grieving the death of a child. I am experienced and comfortable supporting people at their most vulnerable as they navigate this profound loss.
My communication style
My communication style aims to create a supportive therapeutic relationship built on empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. I will meet you where you are at with compassion and without judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
I began my journey in mental healthcare over ten years ago, driven by a deep desire to support children and families through life\'s challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work degree and have since focused my practice on bereavement care, particularly for parents who have lost a child - a loss I recognize as one of the most difficult experiences a person can face.
My goals for you
My goal is to provide a healing space for you to openly express your thoughts and emotions surrounding your loss. Together, we will process your grief, develop coping strategies, and find ways to adjust to life after loss while still honoring your child\'s memory. I aim to help you build resilience and find renewed meaning and purpose.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will begin to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship. I will seek to understand your unique grief experience, the nature of your loss, and how it has impacted various aspects of your life. We will discuss your goals for therapy and begin to create a plan to best support you. You can expect me to listen intently, offer reflections, and ask questions to ensure I understand your experience. Most importantly, I want you to feel heard, validated, and supported from the very beginning of our work together.
