I have had significant deaths in my life, and I have experienced significant trauma.
You feel stuck, lost, hopeless, ashamed, alone. You've experienced a recent trauma. You've experienced childhood trauma. Or maybe a person who you love deeply has died. You might be struggling with addictions, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, OCD, hopelessness, disconnection, loneliness, shame, overwhelm, stagnation, or burnout. You've tried all the things to try to feel better, but for some reason, none of it is working. You're open to new ideas, you're willing to do the work, you believe in the mind-body connection. You just need some help in finding your way.

I love walking alongside women in midlife and supporting them in being who they most desire to be. Midlife is a time where our childhood wounds may resurface. Even though it can be painful, this allows us to heal the wounds of our past, and create a more fulfilling second half of our life. These wounds can be triggered by changes in life such as divorce, death, children leaving home etc. This can be a time to heal yourself and while doing so, you may also be healing your relationships.

These issues may arise from so many of life's challenges, whether we are seeking motivation to overcome procrastination, coping strategies for chronic illness or pain, or dealing with tremendous loss.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in treating the whole person, and I work closely with other professionals as needed in order to help clients with difficulties in both mind (motivation, depression, stress management, anxiety, learning disabilities) and body (autoimmune disorders, chronic/complex pain, cancer). I am particularly interested in helping clients who are coping with multiple stressors (e.g., relationship problems, career issues, health concerns, trauma). I believe it is essential that each client's treatment strategy is tailored specifically to his or her needs, style of interaction, and ability to work toward specific goals.

My clients seek out concrete and reliable tools to overcome anxiety and depression. Many are mothers and grateful for my ability to understand their unique life challenges, having had a very large family of my own. Other clients learn to map out the painful and lingering effects of personal trauma or loss, overcome their suffering and rediscover joy. Having personally lost both parents within a 4 month period, I know the painful price of love, that is, the death of a loved one. For this reason, I also offer home visits to those with limited mobility. I love helping persons build strong self-esteem and creating better life stories.

As a psychologist, I find it most important to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment, where children, adolescents and adults feel comfortable and understood.
I often work closely with parents and children, teaching "tools" that help families function better. These include respectful communication, anger management, and how to deal with excess anxiety or depression. I believe the past affects our present, and our thoughts affect our feelings and actions. I provide the skills that allow clients of any age to confidently move forward to a happier, healthier place.

Everyone experiences life differently. Whether you are managing life changes, trying to reconcile the past, or learn new ways of communicating and coping, I believe together we can establish goals and work towards accomplishing them. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Creating a safe and collaborative space for clients is a top priority in my practice.

Grief Therapists
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.
