Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I believe we are not meant to go alone through life's challenges. Loss, grief, and unexpected changes; sense of purpose or meaning; questions of identity, gender, or sexuality; aging or illness; the role of spirituality in our lives - all of these can feel too overwhelming to sort through alone. In my practice, I offer space and support to bring fears and questions out of the darkness and into a shared, safe environment where they can be faced. I work with adults, teens, and youth ten and older, with a client-centered, strengths-based approach to help you find your best path forward. I have extensive experience working with grief and bereavement, including supporting individuals and families facing cancer, dementia, caregiving stresses, and life-threatening illness. My expertise includes the needs and concerns of the aging and their families. My background also includes close work with pregnant and new families. My speciality areas also include work with the LGBTQ community, helping people work through exploration of identity, decisions on whether, how, and when to come out, and aspects of transitioning and presentation. I understand that gender and sexual identity can impact many aspects of life, and are also only part of what makes each person unique.
