Throughout our life’s journey, we may encounter various stresses that challenge us—experiences of grief, depression, and anxiety may frequent as we navigate this terrain on our path to mental health and well-being. Engaging in the process of counseling can be intimidating as you move through feelings of sadness, despair, loneliness, and periods of expansion and contraction. As an Existential- Integrative Therapist, it would be my honor to walk with you as you transcend these challenges and reclaim your autonomy, experiencing wholeness, enhanced connectedness to self and others, and rediscover meaning and purpose in life.

Whether you’re struggling with overthinking, anxiety, a life transition, grief or the long-term effects of being raised by a narcissistic and/or alcoholic parent, I got you.
You are not only good enough, you are BETTER than good enough. I know it may not FEEL like it at times. The harsh inner critic, the inability to make (or trust yourself to make) decisions, the putting on a brave face when on the inside you just want to scream. The things that keep you stuck are getting in the way of you living the life you deserve. And deep down, you know it’s time for a change. It’s time to treat yourself the way you treat others, with care and compassion. It’s time to find your way out of the vicious cycles that keep you stuck in overwhelm, self-doubt, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.

I have extensive training in grief, anxiety, and complex trauma treatment.
Feeling tense, irritable, or drained? Have you forgotten what it was like to be free from these emotions? Chronic stress is like lugging around a large shoulder bag: the longer we carry it, the heavier it becomes, leaving us fatigued and unwell. I assist people who have been through traumatic or difficult life events in finding practical ways to lighten their load and reclaim their vitality by assisting them in making sense of their symptoms, reconnecting with their true selves, healing from unpleasant experiences, and developing effective tools for lasting change.

Accepting new clients! Sometimes our anxiety, trauma, and mood can get in the way of waking up and being excited about where we are going with our life.

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.
