"Healing and integrating loss into your life demands that you engage actively in the grief journey. It can't be fixed or resolved; it can only be soothed." 

 Alan D. Wolfelt

ABOUT

ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

Fully attuned would describe my clinical presence. I guide you through each breath of grief integration and identity discovery. As a transracial adoptee, who grew up in NYC, I bring lived experience and empathy to my practice. Join me in a session to talk about your loss, honor your stories, and be your full emotional self. 

SPECIALTIES

  • Identifying losses that disrupt our sense of self/emotional

  • Exploring losses in addition to death

  • Identity and Grief Integration (often disrupted by loss)

  • Art Therapy sessions for all ages (grief focused)

  • Closed Group Therapy Sessions (all members evaluated prior to meeting) 

  • Mindfulness and Meditation Techniques

  • Support for Transracial Adoptees and other identity based treatment

EXPERIENCE

Group Psychotherapy is my passion. Loss and grief find us all one way or another. My clinical expertise is that each one of us has gifts to share, and presence worth meeting - no matter how sad, sorrowful, or happy we may be. We can carry our grief and move with purpose and meaning through life. 

I've worked for 5 years at the same treatment center for Addiction & Mental Illness treatment.

"Loss forces us to rebuild our internal architecture. We do not discard the previous self; we build around the empty spaces until the old and the new learn how to hold each other up." 

 Dr. Ronnie Janoff-Bulman (Assumptions Shattered)
