Welcome!
Whether it's the death of a loved one, a questioning of identity, a loss of job, relationship or home, family trauma or the natural transitions that come with the aging process; Grief can feel like being lost in a dark forest with no map. Who am I now? Where do I go from here? These questions can bring feelings of overwhelm, anxiety and hopelessness.But like the butterfly cocoon, grief is part of the natural cycle of life that offers opportunity for growth, hope and profound transformation in the face of the complex mysteries of life. So how does one cope with loss?
Because reaching out takes courage, I provide a safe and caring space for clients to explore and express complicated emotions in a nonjudgmental way. Our time together will also include tools such as psychoeducation about the grieving process, anxiety/sleep management, coping skills and self-care practices during these life changing transitions.
Everyone's path is unique and I am here to walk beside you on this journey of self discovery.

My passion is working with dreams as a map for navigating grief and loss. Dreams often reveal where we have been, where we are now, and how we may move forward. When we listen to them with curiosity and compassion, they can open pathways for insight, healing, and transformation.
Through exploring dreams, my clients frequently make fascinating discoveries. Their dreams not only reflect their personal story of loss, but also offer guidance, wisdom, and hope. Because dreams can reach the deep core of our experiences, I use a gentle, compassionate approach and encourage clients to explore at their own pace.
My work is also informed by holistic, mindful, and transpersonal practices. This may include exploring ancestral wounding, archetypal and depth-oriented work, and expressive arts. These approaches empower clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom and become the hero of their own story.
By cultivating mindful awareness and drawing on personal strengths, clients often experience meaningful transformation. As they move through grief, they reconnect with their inner resources, discover new meaning, and create lasting, sustainable change.
