Have you experienced neglect, abuse, or traumatic events? Abuse is often hard to understand as victims tend to be authentic, honest, and hopeful. The effects of abuse and trauma bring multiple effects as it creates real changes in the way the brain processes - you are not alone. Has navigating medical answers or conditions created many emotions or even a loss of identity? Has someone you love been struggling with medical conditions? Have medical conditions brought loss to you or your family through the loss of a loved one, divorce, disability, stillborn, or miscarriage?

From an early age relationship shapes us, and the throws of life can do harm and trigger wellsprings of emotion that make coping and communication difficult. Emotionally laden issues can take on a life of their own and the negative cycle can feel exhausting and unending. The subsequent stress and anxiety strain relationships and tax the mind, body, and spirit. As a marriage and family therapist with a doctorate in traumatology, I enjoy helping individuals and married couples process the complexities of emotion and mental wellbeing to discover longstanding patterns and issues that thwart health, peace, and intimacy.

Combining 15+ years of social work experience with evidence-based practice models of EMDR and IFS, my goal is to help you heal. Some people worry their problems are too big for therapy, how can talking help? And I agree, we do need to do more than just talking. Just as our bodies heal from physical injury, thankfully we do have an innate ability to heal mentally and emotionally too. So why hasn’t it happened already for you? Some cuts are deeper than others, and need stitches before your body is able to step up and heal on its own. EMDR is like that first stitch needed for the nervous system to be able to heal.

Seeking therapy is a hopeful and courageous act. While suffering is a uniquely individual experience, making the transition to a healthy and balanced life is an opportunity to discover a true and more authentic self. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in a deep respect for the strength and resilience of the human spirit. If you are a young person struggling at home or at school or a couple looking for clarity, resolution and healing or someone that feels like they just don't fit in, you do not have to continue alone.

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.
