Grief and Loss
I have completed advanced training in grief and loss counseling, pediatric palliative care, and adult oncology and palliative care. My professional experience includes working with individuals and families in both pediatric and adult settings, and I am dedicated to ongoing education to provide the highest level of care.
If you are seeking support in managing grief, loss, or navigating palliative care, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Together, we can explore your needs and develop a plan to support you through this challenging time.
Athlete and Parent Support
As a parent of athletes, I understand, see and feel the pressures today’s athletes face. From goals, schedules, academics, friends/social and the recruiting process, I understand, and I see you. Having a safe space to unpack all that you are navigating is critically important to your success, wellbeing and development.
The saying “it takes a village” is never truer then when supporting high performing athletes. I deeply understand the pressures that parents feel – the uncertainty of how to show up for your kid, holding space for the ups, downs, tears and wins. As a parent, it can be so hard to know when and how to “just be there”, to give them a hug, to be a cheerleader or a shoulder to cry on, to know when to advocate and when to take a deep breath. Parents of high performing athletes need support, and I am passionate about showing up for you to help gain clarity on how you can show up for your kid and for yourself.
