About

The experience of grief can be overwhelming, isolating and confusing. I work diligently to meet the specific and unique needs of each client in an environment which provides for trust, compassion and validation. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with over 15 years’ experience in the mental health profession working with adults, youth, families and groups. My professional work addresses the individuals needs of those experiencing symptoms related to trauma, and, depression and or a recent life threatening terminal illness diagnosis. Long term experience within the hospice setting allows me to gain a greater understanding of the many layers of grief and the ability to recognize that the feeling of loss is not something that ends but, is a part of the transformative journey. I enjoy being able to assist families of aging family members to navigate the process. Other areas of professional experience and interest include dementia, stress management, substance abuse and addiction.
