Specialties

I specialize in helping people who are suffering from grief and loss. Whether your grief is related to death, the end of a relationship, a changing career or even letting go of what you thought life would be; Grief can have a paralyzing effect on your life. There is a saying that time heals all wounds, but those who face the pain of grief, know that it isn’t so simple. Grief can be misunderstood.  People apply timelines and stages to the healing process, but grief looks different for everyone. While healing grief isn’t a straight or easy path, together we can navigate the journey to finding your new normal. I have helped many people feel better, live better and love better.

When you love someone who is in the midst of addiction or an untreated mental health condition, it can be a dark, lonely and chaotic place. When people come to me they are often exhausted, filled with grief and fear and even worn down from well-meaning people telling them what they “should do.” I personally know this anguish and have helped others navigate this rough terrain 

When it is helpful, I use CRAFT, an evidence-based approach that provides layers of support for family members with a loved one experiencing a substance use disorder.

It has never been easy, but parenting in this era brings about even more challenges than ever before. It can be a thankless role at times and  brings highs and lows like nothing else in your life. Many times the wounds from childhood show up in parenting, which adds to the stress. I bring my experience with children and family systems, along with being a mother to three, to help parents with children at all ages and stages of life. 

To find more peace and enjoyment in your parenting, I can help you:

• establish closer, more loving attachments with your children
• feel more confident in your parenting 
• heal childhood wounds that are holding you back
• Learn how to engage with a balanced and assertive gentle parenting style
