ABOUT ME


I am a grief and trauma therapist working with people in Oregon, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. I started my career in grief and loss as a clinical social worker in palliative care and hospice in 2010. I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work. I have also served as a training consultant for the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing in Washington, D.C., facilitating grief and trauma trainings for clinicians.


As a therapist, I see myself as a companion and a witness. I will never fully understand the grief that any one person experiences because grief is so personal and individual. Yet, I will be by your side, offering structure, guidance, tools, and the wisdom I have gathered from the countless stories of those I have walked with on this journey.


WHAT KEEPS ME GROUNDED


I value time with my nine-year-old, being outside, and hearing people’s stories. I am fueled by endorphins, friendship, and humor. I am often asked, “How can you do what you do?” and I truly feel privileged to do this work.
