Whether the loss is new or decades old, this work is for you.
I’m a licensed trauma therapist and a trusted voice on grief and mother loss. My work sits at the intersection of early relational loss, nervous system response, and the grief that high-functioning women have set aside because life didn’t stop.
I lost both of my parents by the time I was 22. That history is part of why this work makes sense to me, clinically and personally.
