I work with adults and couples around issues of trauma, abuse/domestic violence, self-esteem, depression, anxiety; and grief and loss issues.
For many of us deciding to enter a path of personal growth can be considered one of the most profound life experiences. My role as a therapist is to guide, witness, and support your unique experience. Together we will begin to uncover areas of your life that desire a sense of healing from self-destructive and limiting beliefs; and create hope for acceptance of self.

I also have specific experience in life stage transitions relating to blended/step families; grief; illness; aging.
Every person – and every family - faces challenges that can overwhelm or get us stuck in patterns that aren’t working. Every life stage has its own pressures, and children/adolescents and aging individuals create additional challenges for communication, coping, and adapting. I believe in the process of encouraged and lasting change in a safe environment. I know that each family has unique strengths, stories, patterns, roles, transitions, culture and influences; I have competency in both traditional linear psychotherapeutic methods as well as family systems methods, and can integrate these for an approach as unique as you are.

Discussing your mental health should be an ongoing conversation. While it can be nerve-racking, it's important to identify someone you feel comfortable with to start the conversation.

Making the decision to seek help is not always an easy one. Following through can be even harder. Am I making the right choice? Can I trust this person? How can they possibly help me? Whether you are going through a life transition, grieving a loss, or struggling with depressive or anxious symptoms know you are not alone. Maybe you are struggling with addiction or someone you love is struggling with addiction. Often times we just don't know what the issue is other than something doesn't feel right and I just don't know what to do or where to turn.

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.
