I work with LGBTQ+ people experiencing grief and loss, supporting you through life’s biggest challenges toward transformation and wholeness. When things feel like they’re falling apart, it is important to take time to allow the immensity of the event to be felt. I will be with you in the falling and also help you anchor into your personal truths and strengths, ultimately leading to greater richness in life. Therapy with me offers space to realign with your deepest self and who you want to be. I will work collaboratively with you to understand the challenges you face and connect to the wisdom within.
With attention and support, great losses have the potential to open your heart and mind, leading to a depth of life you’ve never known before. I offer mindfulness techniques, including body relaxation, breathwork, and guided visualization exercises, as well as healing insight and perspectives to aid you in our work together.
I have expertise in grief and loss, relationships, spiritual connection, and 15 years' experience working with LGBTQ+ people and others dealing with loss and grief at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Northwestern University, and several meditation centers. I am a psychological associate working under the supervision of Dr. Bryce McDavitt.
