I want to acknowledge that reaching out for help during pain is one of the hardest steps a person can take.
It takes courage, self-awareness, and a desire not to stay in the same emotional place you’re in now.
My style is casual, warm, and often includes a touch of humor.
I’m a real human first—someone who found grief work both through my own losses and through sitting with clients whose stories led me deeper into this field.
In many ways, grief chose me, and I’ve become a steady companion for those navigating its heaviest moments.
If you schedule a 15-minute consultation, it’s exactly that—a brief, comfortable space for you to see how it feels to talk with me and to ask any questions.
Some people prefer to skip the consult and jump right into a session.
Whether we meet in person or virtually, our work begins with:
I don’t believe in circling around what brought you here.
We begin where it hurts most, gently and intentionally.
There’s no one-size-fits-all in therapy.
I help clients identify the deepest pain point—the place where the grief is sharpest—and that’s where we begin.
As you talk, I listen not only to your words but to what they reveal about your loss, your love, and your heart.
My approach combines:
Each is specifically helpful in grief work, offering clarity, understanding, and relief.

I enjoyed hearing people’s stories, their challenges, and their hearts.
That led me back to school at Eastern Michigan University, where I earned my Master’s in Social Work.
I have trained in:
These approaches fit seamlessly with grief therapy and allow me to support clients through their heaviest moments.
Grief is one of the most life-shifting experiences a person can face.
It demands our attention. It never fully disappears—but how we carry it is something we can learn to shape.
Our wounds need nurturing and care so they don’t consume us.
Life may never be the same, but with support, it can still hold meaning, purpose, and connection.
Grief work is a personal choice, and the “right time” looks different for everyone.
But beginning sooner often means suffering less alone.
