I encourage you to reach out to me if you are struggling with any variety of difficulties, frustrations or even curiosities; from recent loss to lifelong anxiety to gender identity questions and a variety of other topics in between.
I strive to help my clients fully realize their sense of self, how to continue working on the self, and how to maintain it. I work (past and currently) in person with an extremely diverse range of clients; all over the spectrums of gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, race, culture, ethnicity. Our society can be extremely difficult to navigate and has a tendency to be highly isolating. I approach every client with a deep sense of empathy, openness, and understanding, without presuming to know exactly what each individual goes through. This is why I strongly prefer meeting clients in person, where I can build trust with my clients.

Are you living, or just existing? Do you feel like you're just going through the motions, doing whatever it takes to get through the day, only to find the next day is more of the same? Sometimes things get in the way of us really living our lives.

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.
