I have successfully worked with grief & loss, trauma & attachment and mood disorders in adolescents and adults.

You're struggling, in pain, suffering & yet don't feel like you can find a way forward. Perhaps you've lost someone or something that was important to you. Maybe the weight of traumas, physical or emotional wounds, betrayals, or feelings of inadequacy & worthlessness are pulling you under despite all your efforts to be strong & hold on. You may not even be able to pinpoint what exactly you're feeling or why because everything is so jumbled and intertwined that sorting it out feels like a Herculean task. And, sometimes, life is just really hard. You may think that being strong means doing all the hard things alone because you fear being a burden. In truth, strength is asking for help while feeling that you're worthy & deserving of support & connection from others. Knowing that you're not alone in this struggle can bring hope & a sense of being seen & understood that gives you strength to endure. I use authenticity, honesty, humor & laughter and my own life experience to be an ally on your journey. Listening & allowing you a place to be vulnerable & share those burdens without the need to "be strong" is what I offer. You don't have to do this alone. Please reach out.
