Areas of Expertise
Grief and Loss
We all experience loss and change by virtue of experiencing life and engaging in relationships. I have learned that grief must be witnessed by someone who does not try to diminish the experience. Someone who can sit with the discomfort and honor those feelings without judgement. Someone who supports finding meaning and purpose amidst the transition. Someone who knows that it takes strength to make changes, courage to deepen or resolve relationships, and resilience to cope with life’s challenges.
Life Transitions
Life transitions are inevitable and can occur at any stage of life, bringing both opportunities and challenges. Whether it's starting a new job, moving to a new city, navigating a relationship change, or experiencing loss, transitions can often feel overwhelming and uncertain. However, they also offer a chance for growth, self-discovery, and new beginnings.
End-of-Life Planning & Support
As a social worker specializing in end-of-life planning and support, I understand the importance of navigating this sensitive time with compassion, dignity, and practical guidance. Whether you're seeking assistance in creating advance directives, exploring palliative care options, or processing emotions surrounding end-of-life decisions, I am here to provide support tailored to your unique needs and preferences.
Women’s Mental Wellness
As a woman, I understand the unique complexities and pressures of modern life. From balancing career and family responsibilities to navigating gender inequality and societal expectations, women often find themselves grappling with pressures related to body image, mental health stigma, workplace dynamics, reproductive health, and intersectional identities. These challenges can contribute to feelings of stress, anxiety, and self-doubt, making it essential for women to prioritize their mental health and seek support.
