Here are some things to expect when we sit across from each other. I will encourage meaningful and honest conversations about the things in life that are hard for you to explore. Together, we will make a space to be able to give life to the words that are difficult to say out loud and help you grow in ways that feel useful to you. This can be a painful process and most often is worth it. Some concerns that I often see include: Coping with sudden or traumatic losses, complicated, prolonged, or disenfranchised grief, depression, anxiety, chronic shame/guilt, issues regarding identity, and relationships with others. My work tends to be rooted in humanistic and existential concepts though I pull from a lot of different types of therapies. I am certified in thanatology: the study of death, dying, and bereavement from the Association of Death Education and Counseling (ADEC).
