Grief doesn't follow a timeline. This is a space where your loss is honored and you're supported in making meaning at your own pace. I provide virtual grief counseling to California-based clients who are navigating death, divorce, miscarriage, and identity change.

I work with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem, and identity formation. Through online therapy, we explore your strengths and build a deeper sense of self — with no pressure to have it all figured out.
