I work collaboratively with individuals and families navigating grief, life transitions, health-related challenges, and complex support systems. My background includes behavioral health, social services, client advocacy, and care support, with experience helping individuals access resources, navigate difficult circumstances, and feel more supported during times of stress and uncertainty.
 

Originally interested in the medical field, my path expanded into psychology, family studies, and behavioral health support. I earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy from JFK University. I am also a Certified Grief Educator (CGE) through the program of David Kessler and continue ongoing education in grief support and grief-informed care.
 

My experience includes behavioral and mental health intake and support services, addiction recovery, social services, online and in-person group facilitation, grief education, parenting consultation, and client advocacy. I have worked in psychiatric/addiction inpatient, outpatient behavioral health, and community support settings, and have experience supporting individuals and families navigating emotionally difficult and time-sensitive situations.
 

My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in respect for each individual’s unique experiences and needs. I believe people deserve support, understanding, reliable information, and compassionate guidance while navigating grief, caregiving challenges, health concerns, and life transitions.
 

My work is informed by studies in neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, person-centered approaches, solution-focused strategies, and grief education.
