Therapist

Because of my past personal and professional experience, I typically work with people who are "finding themselves," which can occur at any age, especially after a big change or loss or life event. I specialize in grief, bereavement, sexuality, and spirituality, and often my clients have some sort of religious background or are artists/makers/creatives. I work really well with sensitive men, strong women, and people who feel stuck or misunderstood.
