Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I am a grief counselor offering support for all kinds of loss and transition; I also provide counseling for caregivers.”

About Me

Navigating loss or the demanding role of a caregiver can feel isolating and overwhelming. I offer a compassionate space where you can gently process your emotions. Together, we can explore your unique experiences and identify practical coping strategies that fit your life. My aim is to help you find stability and a path forward through difficult transitions. This approach is ideal for anyone seeking understanding and tailored support during challenging times.

Approach

When loss or caregiving responsibilities make daily life feel unsteady, I work alongside you to slow the pace and name what’s most pressing so healing can move at a manageable tempo. In my Soquel office, in English, sessions are practical and reflective—short check-ins, space for memories, and gentle experiments you can try between meetings to protect your energy. We use clear, small steps to build routines and relearn how to rest while honoring what you’ve lost. This style tends to suit adults and older adults seeking steady, realistic support.
