It is normal to struggle at times throughout your life, but can be difficult to ask for help with these struggles. This is why I consider my work as a counselor a privilege, striving to treat each client with dignity, respect and humor. In my 15 years of work as a counselor, I have found most people have the strength and creativity to meet their needs and recover. Counseling is simply seeking guidance from another to gain hope and uncover this resiliency.

I believe that through collaboration with the therapist each person can find their true motivation and can navigate their way towards the change by using their inner resources and, if need be, through learning new skills. Be it an emotional challenge or upheaval, a relationship issue or stress, one should not have to do it alone and moving on in life can be possible.

Are you finding yourselves falling into the same arguments over and over again? Do you attempt to avoid conflict by walking on eggshells, isolating from each other, or not talking about what needs to be addressed until another “blow-up” happens? Even when you both are in the same space, does it feel like you're miles apart? Are you both feeling lonely, frustrated, and really missing each other? I help couples just like you increase connection, intimacy, and directly communicate with each other about what truly matters.

If you have decided to seek professional help you have accomplished the first step. You have been courageous & will now embark on a journey of self-discovery. Finding the most suitable therapist is the second step. I tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of my clients; I believe that each person should be treated as an individual and that each individual has their own set of needs. I work together with my clients to figure out what those needs are while building trusting, judgment free relationships and through the use of humor whenever possible.

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.
