As a school counselor and therapist for the past 20 years, I have worked with people struggling in one or many areas of their lives. This includes people going through loss, divorce, grief, anxiety, depression, attentional or organizational difficulties, lack of motivation, childhood trauma, and lack of confidence. I value and support every person I work with and find that people who experience the most success in therapy put in the work and effort in and outside of therapy sessions. That being said, healing happens at a different pace for everyone, and I'm here to meet each person where they're on the journey.

If you're currently dealing with trauma or PTSD, grief or loss, chronic illness or cancer, you may often find yourself overwhelmed at times with emotion: anger, anxiety, fear, sadness, worry. You may feel as if your world's been turned upside-down, and not know what to do. Know immediately that your feelings are perfectly normal! Take a deep breath, and imagine what it would feel like to have someone walk with you through your pain. You might feel lighter, less stressed, less alone and more capable of dealing with life.

In the midst of seeking help to deal with the grief and loss of my child, I found a therapist who helped me realize my true purpose in life.
Hello there, thank you for visiting my page. I am a licensed clinical sw, author, mom and wife with a passion for helping others to overcome the challenges of life. With the right mindset and support, I believe anything is possible. Social work was the call I answered after experiencing the loss of my 3-month old daughter 14 yrs ago. I had a great therapist who helped me through my grief; thus, I felt it was important to pay it forward. My personal experiences have allowed me to more understanding, welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental. My ideal client would be anyone who is struggling with a mental health issue & seeking help.

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.
