I specialize in the areas of addiction, profound grief/ bereavement, emotional trauma and Gottman Method Couples Therapy My style is humanistic and person centered, and my affect is candid but mindful.
"You are strong enough to face it all, even if it doesn't feel like it right now" . This quote speaks quite loudly to me because upon reflection, I find that Life has a way of interfering when I am busy doing something else. I have spent the better part of 25 years learning who I am and have willingly and sometimes unwillingly faced harsh realities I would not chose for anyone, much less myself. One of the most important things that has proven to be true for me, is that if I can find meaning in events that shattered my world or at the very least, shook it up, then my understanding and insight increased and I could find peace.

“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, ‘Thank God, somebody heard me.

Through mutual respect, empathetic listening, and positive regard, I work alongside my clients to help them find resolution and peace.

I have assisted clients in confronting fear, processing trauma and navigating grief, while working to develop healthy, practical methods of managing stress and coping with symptoms that interfere with life.
Anxiety, depression, grief... we all experience these emotions at some point. But what if they become overwhelming? What if anxiety turns into paralyzing fear, panic attacks, racing thoughts, inability to sleep, do your job, or have a social life? Depression can lead to low motivation, lack of purpose, excessive sleep, or even suicidal thoughts. Grief can rob you of joy, pleasure, and zest for life. These issues and others (stress, job loss, divorce/relationship issues, health issues, etc.) may make life seem unbearable or unmanageable. But it doesn’t have to be. I believe there is hope and a path to healing for you.

I have been in the darkness and grief and depression myself and a counselor helped me find the way back to myself.
“The Doctor Is In.” Well, not exactly; I cannot fix you, but I can help you develop the tools to fix yourself. The ‘why you do what you do’, when you don’t even know why you do what you do. That is what I want to help you find. There is no shame in asking for help. Everyone is different, so I use multiple methods to find what works for you to build the skills you need to cope with life. A sense of humor, some tough love, and no judgement to navigate your darkness is what I can provide.

I work in various areas like substance abuse recovery, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, communication issues, relationships issues, and many more.
Hello! If you are here, I imagine something in your life is not going as you planned. Everybody says life has ups and downs, but what do we do when the "ups" seem to be more and more scarce or maybe even non-existent? The world tells us to "get over it" or "keep going, it will get better", but what if that isn't helping? I understand life issues do not just disappear like that. And that is why I am here to help!

My experience includes, but is not limited to, addiction (or unhealthy behaviors that we want to address), trauma issues, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression.
Many of us have assumed the labels others have placed upon us. I do not believe these labels can fully explain who we are or what we are experiencing. I believe through presence and compassionate curiosity we can become more mindful of ourselves and begin to experience the safety and connection we long to know. My goal is to serve as a compassionate fellow traveller, working through the obstacles that we face in life. My hope is that you will be able to remove the labels and the masks and work toward becoming the healthiest version of yourself.

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.
