When we think of loss and grief, death typically comes to mind. If you have experienced the death of someone close to you, it can help to have someone help you navigate the process of grief. Loss also can happen when someone loses a job, gets divorced or even becomes alienated from people previously close to them. We work together to help you cope through your experience of loss.

It is important to grieve and to acknowledge our losses...and to know that we don't "get over" our loss but that we can, in time, learn to live with it. It is good to share with family and friends however, grieving usually begins when the ceremonies are over and everyone goes home and the emptiness begins. Grief counseling creates a safe space just for you to get support you need at this crucial time in your life. I am a PsychoSpiritual counselor, an ordained interfaith minister and I served as an associate chaplain in a hospital setting for fifteen years. In my practice, I work with people of all faiths and belief systems including humanists. I do not proselytize. Grieving is hard and it is a privilege to be able to be supportive at this time of need.

Grieving is a natural and personal process that can be challenging to navigate. As a therapist, my role is to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions and experiences related to your loss.
I work with you to understand your unique grieving process, which may involve expressing your feelings, finding meaning in your loss, and discovering new ways of coping.
I use methods designed to provide you with tools and techniques to help you manage the difficult emotions that often come with grief, such as anxiety, anger, guilt, sadness, and hopelessness. Ultimately, my aim is to help you find a sense of acceptance and peace, while honoring your loved one's memory. Through our work together, you can develop the skills and resilience to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and grace.

Allentown is the Lehigh Valley's largest city and the subject of Billy Joel's song about deindustrialization—a fitting reference for a city that has navigated significant post-industrial economic transition while working to define a new identity beyond its steel and manufacturing past. The city has one of Pennsylvania's largest Puerto Rican populations, and Spanish-language therapy is an essential component of the mental health landscape; bilingual practitioners are in significant demand to serve a Latino community that now represents more than half of the city's population. Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke's University Health Network both operate behavioral health programs in the region, and a private therapy sector serves those with the means to access it. Common therapy concerns include economic transition stress, immigration and diaspora identity, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the particular challenges of a majority-minority city working to build a shared community identity in the shadow of its industrial past.
