I provide customized therapy for individuals and families, with a focus on grief and bereavement.
Have you recently lost someone or something important to you? Grief is our internal response to loss. It's the mix of thoughts and emotions that come up when someone we care about passes away. Our ability to grieve comes from our capacity to both give and receive love. Many of us have heard that we're supposed to "move on" from grief. But the truth is, grief isn't something you just "move on" from. Instead, we incorporate our grief by letting ourselves feel its impact. It's like our grief guides us, rather than us trying to control it. Grief becomes a part of us when we welcome it, rather than trying to put a set time limit on it.

Dear Potential Client: You deserve a sense of well-being and meaning in your life. Maybe you have spent too long in an endless cycle of feeling unworthy and labeled. Maybe everyday tasks have become overwhelming, and you feel even more isolated because it seems no one understands. You may feel shameful, stuck and hopeless. You don’t have to continue to experience the emotional and physical pain that comes with trauma, grief, anxiety and depression. You don’t have to keep re-living past experiences.

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.
