Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, loneliness, stress, guilt, grief, disappointment, sadness, displaced anger, intimacy issues, trouble with communication, disconnection in your relationships, being overwhelmed, or just a feeling of being stuck? Do you wonder if life could feel better? Now more than ever people are feeling uncertain about the future and wonder how to connect to others so they don't feel lonely and isolated. Not addressing these worries lead to more disconnect, sadness and feelings of aloneness. Talking to a therapist can help you start to feel better and not have to deal with these issues on your own.

In my experience I've come to know that each person's struggles and strengths are unique, but we're all connected and affected by one another. From this starting point, I hope to build a safe place to process, grow, and develop new skills to overcome life's difficulties. Using an eclectic blend of evidence based practices specifically tailored to each individual, I have treated adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, issues of spirituality, and life transitions. I also have more specialized experience working with those suffering from grief and loss, and have researched and published on the topic as well.

My specialty focuses mainly with clients who suffer from mood disorders, grief/loss, and trauma.
To experience life fully is to fully experience a wide range of balanced emotions. However, when we experience sadness, anger, guilt, shame, depressed and/or anxious emotions, they infringe on our physical, mental, and relational well being. Psychotherapy is the key and can help to restore the balanced life. I believe having a safe and meaningful relationship with my client is the foundation of successful therapy. For this reason, I provide a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment where your therapeutic process of healing and growth can take place.

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.
