As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Connecticut, I have a deep commitment to supporting individuals navigating the complex terrain of grief and loss. Whether you're mourning the death of a loved one, coping with the pain of infertility or pregnancy loss, or grappling with ambiguous losses—like estrangement, chronic illness, or the loss of a hoped-for future—your grief is real, and it matters.
In our work together, I’ll support you in building practical tools and emotional skills that help you:
Regulate overwhelming emotions and manage anxiety
Develop self-compassion and reduce self-blame
Set and maintain healthy boundaries
Cultivate meaning and connection after loss
Strengthen communication in relationships
Increase tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity
Rebuild trust in yourself and your body
Move through grief at your own pace, without pressure to “move on”
While my specialty is in grief and loss, I also support clients navigating the everyday challenges of life—stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional weight of being human. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled, or just need a space to breathe and reflect, you’re welcome here.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices including, but not limited to, client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I believe healing happens in safe, nonjudgmental spaces where your experience is honored, and your story is heard.
You don’t have to go through this alone—healing begins with connection.
About the work.
The foundation of jfg therapy is built upon my personal and professional experience with grief and loss. My goals are to:
Normalize grief:
We, as a society aren’t taught how to grieve. jfg therapy shares the tools, resources and knowledge you need to give yourself the permission to grieve. jfg therapy utilizes a humanistic approach to empower all kinds of people, experiencing all kinds of grief.
Provide support:
Giving yourself the grace and space you need to grieve will make way for the work we will do together. jfg therapy provides support for teens ages 16 and up, young adults and adults.
Create community:
jfg therapy works to connect grievers with one another through our grief support groups. Sharing your experiences with others who understand what it means to grieve, or who have faced a similar type of loss can be immensely helpful on your grief journey.
