It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a loss, traumatic incident or life transition.
Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs last? Maybe you are just not feeling like yourself. Perhaps you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how you are supposed to manage all the things on your plate. Pushing away your own needs and living in survival mode can lead to long term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

In the fantastically busy and often confusing world in which we live it is far too easy to overlook the single most important aspect of our lives; the wellbeing of ourselves and our relationships. Every aspect of our existence depends on our attitudes and beliefs and how we relate to others.

I offer individual therapy sessions for adults and adolescents seeking support in areas such as: Trauma/Sexual abuse trauma, Developmental trauma/Complex trauma, Eating Disorders and Intuitive Eating, Grief and loss, and Anxiety.
Sometimes life presents us with struggles and challenges that let us know it is time for change. Change isn’t always easy, and when considering therapy, often the hardest step is making the first phone call or email. (Congratulations!) My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I believe in the innate capacity for growth and change within each individual. My goal is to provide a therapeutic space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life's complexities.

I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families regarding development, disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, and brain injury/stroke. For the past 10 years, I have specialized in supporting sexual and gender diverse children, youth, and families.

I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing since 2012. I specialize in treating trauma symptoms, anxiety and mood disorders, and I have advanced training in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy. I have a special interest in supporting people with the grief and loss of transitioning out of fundamentalist/conservative faith communities.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
