My clinical experience is in the treatment of depression and anxiety; fractured relationships and attachment; trauma and grief; uncertainty and shame; and substance misuse.
From an early age, you begin to develop methods for coping with your world. Eventually, you may find these methods are no longer serving you and, in truth, are undermining the relationship you have with yourself and others. Perhaps old ways of coping are not working for current situations and are worsening your own suffering. Or maybe this is the first time you are going through a specific situation, and you are at a loss for how to get through it. Let’s find a way through it, together. I will help you evolve your coping methods to better serve you because they fit your current life and current situation.

I think one of the main issues people struggle with today is cultivating resiliency, and therefore my focus in therapy has always been toward empowerment and strengthening clients from a multi-systems approach. I believe positive mental health and a strong self-care routine are a valuable asset to individual growth, and that therapy isn't meant to just be a reactive form of treatment, but one that is a regular part of all our routines.

I like to work with children, adolescents, and adults using the creative process to support and encourage young people to understand themselves, their issues, and the world. We all have problems in life, and mental health-related concerns are some that need our attention daily. Children experience the same problems that we as adults do. However, they may look and feel different due to their development and emotional strength. Each family may have different goals and needs; understanding and focusing on each child and patient and their needs is important, and having verbal and non-verbal ways to do so can be what is needed.

People are often not aware of all the factors affecting their emotions and behavior because they reside at the unconscious level outside of our awareness. These unconscious issues may cause physical symptoms, emotional pain and frustration, or problems in working and relating.
The unconscious mind cannot be dealt with directly by reading, journaling, self help advice, or well intentioned suggestions from family or friends. Medication alone and quick-fix therapy are usually inadequate.

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.
