Grief isn't just about death — it's about losing the life you thought you'd have. Using CBT, supportive counseling, and other modalities, I help you find language for what you're feeling, make sense of the fear, and build tools for carrying this without white-knuckling through every hard day.

Stop white-knuckling through every appointment, conversation, and hard day Find language for what you're feeling — and permission to feel it Learn to hold space for loss and for living Move from survival mode into something that actually feels like you again

Direct, grounding, and real. I won't rush you past what's happening or push toxic positivity. Clients often say I'm the first person who's made them feel like what they're carrying actually makes sense — and that this is a space where they don't have to stay composed.

Got news that changed everything — and are now expected to just keep going. Adults navigating their own diagnosis, caring for someone who is sick, or bracing for a loss that hasn't happened yet. High-functioning on the outside. Overwhelmed on the inside. You don't have to keep doing this alone.

I've always believed that when people truly understand themselves, everything shifts. Losing my mom took that belief and gave it a direction. Grief became the work I was most drawn to — and the sessions I looked forward to most. I stopped ignoring that and built a practice around it.

Rising Sails is a telehealth practice built specifically for adults navigating grief and life-altering diagnoses. I hold a specialty certification in health care social work (C-SWHC), meaning this intersection of medical reality and emotional impact is the center of my clinical training — not a side specialty.
