Education & Experience

As a professional who is Certified in Thanatology, I have extensive training and experience in death education, care of the dying, bereavement, and grief counseling in order to support those experiencing loss. I am also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with advanced training in Clinical Hypnosis and have my Certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C). I have a Masters in Social Work as well as a Masters in Theology and Ministry. My experience includes working in a bereavement center for children ages 3+, supporting young adults in university settings, and counseling adults and seniors in hospice. I am currently pursuing a Certificate of Expressive Arts Therapy from the Institute for Creative Mindfulness. For those who would like to incorporate movement or yoga into their therapy, I am a Mindful Grieving Yoga Therapy Facilitator. I am certified by the Grief Support Network after completing their 200-hour training program. I have also completed 500 hours of additional yoga teacher training. I adapt yoga and movement to each client, making sure their unique physical and emotional needs are addressed and accommodated to in every session.
