Introduction

You are an expert at caring for others in your personal and professional life, but you feel lost when trying to connect with your own needs. Grief, illness, and loss have left you reeling, but it has felt like you haven’t had the time or space to process your hurt. There is so much that demands your attention, you aren’t sure where to start. You are looking to heal and recover, hoping to reconnect with your inner joy, and searching for moments of peace. I am a queer and trans affirming individual and couples counselor with a special focus on caregivers, healthcare workers, and people facing grief and loss. Loss is at the center of any major life change, and can encompass experiences such as the death of a loved one, as well as the end of a relationship or job. In our work together, we will center self awareness, joy, and peace, to bolster your natural ability to heal and recover from difficulty. If you are wondering how I can help, book a free consultation with me!
