Grief is complicated & not just experienced with the loss of a loved one, but also in the "little deaths" endured in the hurts/disappointments of life, the yearning for our past selves, and the realization of the selves we will never be.
I'm so glad you are taking a HUGE step in your quest for change! SPOILER ALERT: Once you accept and love yourself exactly as you are, then you can change. I am dedicated to empowering clients to change the narrative of how they view themselves, others, and the world in order to create a more meaningful/fulfilling life. I strive to help my clients live courageously by approaching rather than avoiding their emotions, getting to know and love their true self (flaws and all), and by valuing the journeys of their life over the destinations.

When you're ready, come and tell me your story. I understand that it can feel overwhelming and uncomfortable to be vulnerable, to address difficult issues and to begin to make changes.

With therapy, anxiety, depression, and other emotional concerns can improve, relationships can be restored, and past losses or traumas healed. You can begin to feel more hopeful, confident, balanced and empowered. And begin to live a more authentic life!

Change. It must be something you are considering as you read through counselor profiles. Change is powerful, healing, and necessary as we maneuver through life. Boundaries. This word is life changing. Healthy boundaries allow others to love us and appreciate us fully for who we are. Balance. Peace. Joy. These are achieved with hard work and implementing therapeutic tools we are often not taught in life. Therapy is a good place to explore, reprocess, learn, practice, and implement the skills needed to make these changes and follow your path toward self-actualization.

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.
