Meet Meechal

If grief, loss, caregiving, or a major life change has you feeling overwhelmed, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental place to slow down and feel understood. I specialize in grief and bereavement, and support those coping with life-changing or terminal diagnoses. With more than 11 years of experience as a licensed clinician and with an approach that draws on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based therapy, sessions feel practical and grounded in your strengths. I provide telehealth in California and Colorado.

Together, we’ll collaborate on goals that reflect your needs and the reasons you’ve chosen to begin therapy.
