I work with teens, emerging adults, & adults in their 20's I support people who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief / loss, impulsive behaviors, school refusal, transitions to adulthood, self-confidence, self-esteem, conflict in relationships, LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC identity issues and concerns.
It takes courage to realize when we are struggling and suffering and when life is not what we want it to be. Sometimes we know exactly what's making life difficult and causing us to feel anxious, depressed, stressed, or angry, but we have no idea how to deal with those feelings or what to do about our pain and distress. If you're ready and want to reduce your anxiety and depression, and stress, understand yourself more deeply and improve your relationships, I encourage you to try counseling. You don't have to be silent or alone with it all any longer. You deserve to ease your suffering, feel better, grow, heal, & embrace who you are

As a trauma & anxiety therapist I've helped adults for the past 30 years to: decrease anxiety and depression, heal from trauma and painful pasts, move through grief and mourning, create a full life despite chronic illness and/or chronic pain, improve relationships, change unhelpful behaviors, increase coping skills, and begin recovery from problem gambling.
Too often life brings us the unwanted, the unwelcomed, and the unexpected. These things are often deeply painful, cause us to struggle, increase our stress and overwhelm, and cause us to feel alone. If this is what you are experiencing, you don't have to be alone in it, - therapy can help. You deserve to be heard, cared for, and supported. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, being triggered by past trauma, or battling with chronic pain or illness, we can work together to untangle the things that hold you back, so you can create the life you want and deserve. You will be able to heal, grow, and thrive.

First and foremost, I commend you for taking the most difficult step in therapy- seeing its value and starting the process. The process can be uncomfortable, and I am here to help you make the process as easy as possible. Right from the beginning, it is going to be important to establish a good relationship in which you feel comfortable opening up and allowing me to get to know you. I do this mainly by asking questions, listening, and putting much care into understanding who you are and what you are saying.

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.
