ABOUT ME
|
I specialize in working with people experiencing grief and loss, trauma, and have a particular passion for working with new parents in their postpartum period, pregnant people, people experiencing fertility issues, miscarriage, stillbirths, baby & child loss, NICU experiences, and abortion.
As someone who has experienced a lot of loss myself, I know how important it is to feel safe, seen, and heard. Saying goodbye and holding space for my loves and my losses has been woven into my life from a young age. I'm grateful to have learned to not shut away grief but instead to lean into it and grieve together. Because of this, it's what I bring to holding space for others. I let grief be loud. Or quiet. Or joyful, scary, messy, devastating... I let grief be whatever it needs to be. I lean in. I believe that the foundation of any healing work is a strong and trusting relationship, and the ability to feel safe in the vulnerability of the work. This journey is a collaborative one and we will work together to find what best supports you. Here are some common topics I support folks with:
I know starting this journey can be challenging, so please feel free to reach out with any questions via phone or email, whichever is easiest for you. I'm happy to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation so that we can chat and sort out logistics. I'll do my best to respond within 1-2 business days. |

OUTSIDE THE OFFICEOutside of work you can find me taking walks with my pup, Zia, doing yoga in various rooms of the house (usually with my kids hanging off of me), and drinking lots of coffee.
In the summer I'm at the beach, and in the winter I am snowboarding. I enjoy reading lengthy fantasy novels, listening to murder mystery podcasts, and spending time with my family. |
