I am a Registered Social Worker in good standing with the NBASW, specializing in grief, loss, and complex life transitions. With a Bachelor of Social Work and a BA in Communications, I focus on translating clinical expertise into clear, compassionate support grounded in your lived experience.
I work with adults navigating advanced illness, caregiving stress, bereavement, and the profound shifts in identity that follow a loss or diagnosis. I believe therapy should offer both steadiness and strategy. My goal is to be a companion on your journey, equipping you with practical tools to manage brain fog, emotional intensity, and deep exhaustion so you can protect your wellbeing.
My background in end-of-life care and responding to sudden, life-altering events has shown me how overwhelming it is when your world shifts. Whether you are managing the long-term mental load of caregiving or trying to find your footing after a loss, you do not have to face it alone. I draw from CBT, Narrative Therapy, and strength-based, solution-focused approaches to tailor our work to your specific needs.
I practice from a person-in-environment perspective, exploring not only your internal experience, but also how family dynamics, workplace pressures, and broader systems impact your well-being. Grief and stress do not happen in isolation—and neither does healing. I offer an open, non-judgmental space where we can navigate these complexities together at your own pace.
Outside of the therapy room, I find balance through the arts and nature. Whether I’m in a dance class, singing in a choir, or out for a walk with my standard poodle, Fritz, I value the healing power of community and connection.
