Professional statement

Grief and chronic illness can disrupt your sense of stability, identity, and daily life. Whether you’re navigating complicated, prolonged, or anticipatory grief—or coping with the emotional impact of a chronic or life-altering medical diagnosis—therapy offers a structured, supportive space to process these experiences, reflect on what matters most, and gradually regain balance and perspective.

With over 14 years in the mental health field, including hospice-based grief work and community mental health experience, I bring both professional expertise and a deep respect for each client’s unique journey. I work with adults experiencing loss of a loved one, chronic health challenges, medical trauma, or major life transitions, helping them explore the emotional, cognitive, and physical impact of these experiences.

My approach combines EMDR, somatic therapy, grief-focused interventions, and CBT to help clients process unresolved experiences, manage emotional intensity, and strengthen coping skills. Through this tailored approach, clients often gain greater emotional steadiness, insight into their patterns, and renewed confidence to engage more fully in relationships, work, and daily life.

I provide online therapy for adults in Florida and Colorado and accept both private pay and insurance.


Message to clients

I understand taking this first step into starting therapy can be the most difficult. I hope to provide an approachable atmosphere without judgement and discuss any questions you have about the therapy process along the way. Ultimately I aim to provide a "client-centered approach" meaning that you share the goals you wish to reach or the direction you want to go and I will assist you in getting there. If you have more questions or are ready to move forward, please schedule your consultation call. I encourage you to reach out and get the help you need!

(For more scheduling availability for the consultation call please refer to my website to book this appointment.)
