Are you struggling with current and past life stressors, maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships, or feeling unfulfilled? Wellness is inclusive of the mind body and spirit. Life and the many hats that we wear challenge our wellness. It can be difficult to navigate life without knowing how to properly identify what you are experiencing and feeling. Perhaps you are feeling “stuck” in life and don’t know how to get yourself back on kilter. My goal is to help bring into awareness traumas, feelings, and thoughts by acknowledging the influence of varying relationships and systems in your life so that you can heal.

Do you feel that you are all alone and no one will ever understand what you are going through? We all need extra support and to know that we are not alone. I hope to foster a therapeutic relationship where you feel nurtured, respected, and know that your thoughts and feelings matter. My approach to therapy is strengths-based. I treat the whole person and do not have a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe each individual is unique and can overcome any obstacle. I practice a non-judgmental and empathetic approach and support individuals as they confront their issues and help them realize their unique strengths.

I believe that you are more than a diagnosis, disorder or disability. I would like to work with clients who are open to explore their history, make connections to the present, and prepare for the future. My ideal client is willing to be open and honest during the process of therapy, and use the safe space as a way to learn and grow. I would like to collaborate with individuals who are open to be challenged and do the work outside of therapy that will help them commit to life-long changes. As a self-proclaim foodie, I am also looking for clients who have interests in food and how our food consumption affects our mood and behavior.

The feelings of inadequacies, loss, & being overwhelmed by the pain/sorrow have become a fact of life. We consume videos, annotate self-help books, our desks are overflowing with "The idiot's guide to-" and "The mindset of-" and yet we still feel empty. Why? The world told you that this program was the "ultimate fix" if you just put in the effort. We are bombarded with "the only thing you need to (insert any issue)" but how do you actually move to the next step? How do we continue after loss? Were you even taught how? Was anyone taught how? Why don't we talk about it more? How do you manage these challenges?

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.
