We specialize in couples, grief, trauma, and children/adolescents who are seeking more effective ways to cope with and adjust to life changes.
Life rarely goes as planned. When you've been hit with a major life event, such as the loss of a loved one, an affair, or the birth of a child, you may experience fear, isolation, sadness, or anger. Although life changes can be a source of excitement and growth, they often bring up unresolved issues, including perfectionism, shame, and past trauma. If you want to be able to cope effectively with life's biggest transitions, you need a compassionate therapist who specializes in your area of need, so that you can find peace and joy in your life again.

I believe therapy is most effective when people feel safe, comfortable and at ease in a non-judgmental, neutral environment. It is here that people can safely process everyday stressors, difficult experiences past or present, symptoms of anxiety that may be showing up in their life, symptoms of depression, codependency, relationship and or family conflict, or struggling with changes happening around them. My hope is to help people feel seen, heard, and to feel empowered by offering a warm, compassionate and supportive space to my clients. You do not need to do any of this alone and I am so glad you are here!

Private pay, superbills available. I offer EMDR weekly or Intensive sessions for the treatment of trauma symptoms. Unprocessed traumatic memories can become stuck in the body, leading to distress and dysregulation in many forms: panic, anxiety, depression, irritability, flash anger, numbness, loss of connection with others. Neurological research show that the rhythmic horizontal eye movements used in EMDR reduce the activity in the brain's fear circuits, allowing allowing our brain and our nervous system to do the healing work they are capable of. Wondering if this is for you or if your story "counts" as trauma? Let's connect.

Some of my areas of expertise include grief and loss, end of life issues, feeling lost, mood problems, relationships, finding meaning, non-binary paths, and the quest to matter.
I have been a human being for 64 years, a practicing psychotherapist for 22. I invite you to stand shoulder to shoulder with me in our journey to ease your suffering and achieve your goals. Therapy offers many possibilities- seeing old problems in a new and open way, being more alive in the world, celebrating the possibility of wonder, or learning more effective strategies for relating. This means exploring and addressing various kinds of dilemmas and pain. It may simply mean support with your creative process, or more commonly, with the feeling that you are “stuck”.

Perhaps in Relationships- you struggle with communication, boundaries, or you keep getting stuck in the same patterns? In Identity- you know your worth, but have trouble with your self-esteem? In Grief- you get overwhelmed, and don’t know where to start to feel better? You're ready to master relationships, heal, and be unapologetically yourself.

Accepting New Patients: Everyone, at some point in their lives, will experience some type of mental health symptom, be it depression, anxiety, loss/ grief, addictions to substances or behaviors, and adjustment to major life changes. The good news is that most of us have been using coping skills that we may not even know that we have. Depending on the situation or severity of symptoms, sometimes seeking help to learn new, or healthier coping skills, as well as having someone listen and help prioritize stressors can make a huge difference in our lives and help no longer feel so frustrated, alone and overwhelmed.

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.
