In Person Brooklyn Park or Virtual Appointment

I believe that healing happens in relationships and that every person has the capacity for growth, connection, and renewal. I approach each client with deep care, curiosity, and respect for their unique life experiences. As a therapist specializing in grief, loss, and trauma, I offer compassionate and evidence-informed care for children, adults, and families. I support clients in finding hope and building resilience through any life changes or challenging circumstances they may be facing. With decades of experience in both clinical and school settings, my goal is always to offer a warm, steady presence and a space where healing can take root.

In my work as a professor of counseling, I have provided support, training, and consultation to schools, clinical agencies, and community organizations on best practices for creating trauma-responsive environments. As a licensed school counselor, my work has centered on creating a safe environment where every child feels seen, supported, and empowered. I integrate social-emotional learning, grief support, and collaboration with families and educators to ensure that students have the tools they need to thrive both academically and personally.

Everyone who experiences loss walks their own unique path of grief. There is no script or timeline – and sometimes the journey seems overwhelmingly hard. I offer a compassionate, supportive space for you to process your emotions and work through your unique grief process. I am a trained End of Life Doula, a Certified Sound Healer, and have years of experience in a variety of trauma-responsive therapeutic strategies. Through connection, compassionate reflection, and developmentally appropriate activities, I help my clients navigate their grief journey. I am accepting new clients and am available for virtual appointments or in person at the Brooklyn Park location.
