I use a holistic, client centered approach paired with my understanding of grief and loss, trauma informed, creative art and mindfulness based therapies to tailor a therapeutic experience that is unique to your needs.
Have you experienced trauma, stress or loss in your life? Most likely the answer is yes, we all have a different tolerance for the things life throws at us. Everyday adversities can add up over our lifetime. Unfortunately, we live in a society that too often has a "forget about it and move on" attitude. I want to help you slow down and really look at how your life journey has impacted your overall mental health. My goal is to create a safe place for you or your child to begin understanding how these stressors are impacting your life. I want to normalize the importance of self awareness, communication and self love.

Have you ever felt like you are not enough or unprocessed grief is keeping you stuck? Do you feel like life is overwhelming? Has a past trauma or loss kept you from living life fully? I believe that these unresolved thoughts, feelings, and emotions can play into less helpful coping skills. Through growth and development you will experience a fuller life and your feelings will start to be manageable. You will imagine going through life with a clear sense of self and purpose. As Carl Rogers said "The curious paradox is when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change".

You are enough. It's true, and sometimes we need to remember. I work with people who have experience trauma and grief, including oppression-based trauma. Working together, you will cultivate relief by developing trust in your inner strengths, increasing your ability to manage stress, processing past wounding, and tending to ongoing challenges. We will weave in the impacts that systems of oppression have had on your well-being. I don't have a magic wand that can make the pain or life challenges disappear. And I believe it is possible to cultivate a larger container that holds the complexities of being human with more ease.

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.
