I'm a therapist, social worker, grief educator, wife, mom, recovering perfectionist, and someone who deeply believes that life is often a lot messier than we're taught to admit.

My path to becoming a therapist wasn't a straight line. Before social work, I spent more than a decade in marketing and communications. Yet time and time again, I found myself drawn toward spaces where people could talk honestly about grief, loss, identity, and the complicated parts of being human.

What I didn't realize at the time was that my own experiences with loss were quietly shaping that path. The death of my mom when I was 15, followed by the loss of a childhood best friend, changed me in profound ways. While I never imagined those experiences would become the foundation of my life's work, they ultimately led me to the grief and trauma work I hold so close to my heart today.

Even as I worked in marketing, I started exploring grief work through writing. As I was becoming a mother myself, I created The Motherless Mom, a blog about navigating motherhood without a mom of my own to guide me. That work eventually evolved into The Grieving Mamas Club, a podcast exploring the intersection of grief and motherhood. Through articles, resources, and honest conversations, my goal has always been to make grief feel a little less lonely and a lot more human.

Today, I specialize in grief and trauma and work with people navigating loss, life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the stories that shape how we move through the world. My approach is warm, person-centered, and grounded in the belief that you don't need to be fixed—you need to be seen. You deserve support, understanding, and space to make sense of what you're carrying. And yes, there will probably be a little dark humor along the way because, despite what you've been told, healing and laughter can coexist. In 2025, I created Griefology, a grief education platform dedicated to helping people better understand grief and all of its WTF-ness. Through articles, resources, and honest conversations, I strive to make grief resources and support more accessible and validating.

When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me reading, tending to my ever-growing garden, spending time with my family, listening to a podcast, planning my next trip, or convincing a friend to get caught up on a Bravo show so we can discuss it.

Whether you're carrying fresh pain, old wounds, or simply feeling stuck, I'm glad you're here. I hope this can be a place where you feel safe enough to exhale, show up exactly as you are, and still your tea. And of course, begin untangling whatever feels heavy.
