How can we find joy in a world full of turmoil: fires, hurricanes, shootings, political upheavals, wars, etc. This adds more stress to our already stressful lives. Sometimes, all we need is to have someone to talk to---someone unbiased and nonjudgmental. Sometimes, we need a little help and it is okay to ask for that help. We can work through the challenges that you face; like, grief and loss, couples' issues, self-esteem, depression, anxiety and trauma, to name a few. All you need to do is pick up the phone and call.

In my experience, the only constant in life is change, whether it be a job, a living situation, a move, a relationship, the death of a loved one, trauma, or countless other changes we encounter and create. Change, even a desire for change, can often feel overwhelming when we do not know what action to take or if we should take any action at all. My focus is on helping my individual, couple, and family clients feel empowered to handle the challenges they face leading up to, during, and following life changes. I will listen without judgement and offer support and compassion as clients do the courageous work of leaning into change.

My areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, "adulting", substance abuse/addiction, self-harm, disordered eating, trauma resolution, life transitions, relationships, communications, values, life skills, grief and loss, and family systems.
It's hard to be happy when your life is out of balance: You feel down or sad. The activities you used to enjoy are no longer fun. You have no energy. Everything stresses you out. You feel like crying. You want to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in with you. Maybe you're hurt and angry over a relationship. Maybe you're a teenager whose parents don't understand you or you're the parent of a kid who's making dangerous choices. Maybe you're a young adult who has discovered that "adulting" is a lot harder than you thought.

If you find yourself questioning how you got to this moment in your life, where things just don't make sense, I'd like to help. Looking for the answers by yourself can leave you going in circles.

In my 18 years of practicing therapy, I have found that helping people discover their strengths and self worth, without judgement, can be powerful. I'd like to extend that opportunity for you to experience and achieve a fulfilling life that you deserve.

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.
