I work with clients who are dealing with different issues including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and self-esteem issues.
Welcome! Do you feel as though you have no one to talk to? As a counselor, I feel it is important to be objective, supportive and to provide a safe space where you feel heard and validated. Counseling can help you deal with what is preventing you from achieving your life's dreams and goals. My therapy style is a collaborative relationship where the client feels respected, and we work towards discovering strategies and solutions that works best for the client. I consider it a blessing to journey alongside of clients who are ready to move towards living a more intentional and fulfilling life.

Do you compare yourself to others? Do others seem to "have it all together"? Perhaps to the outside world it seems like your living your best life. The truth is that under that seemingly perfect exterior, everything feels painfully hard. Life isn't what you envisioned. You are struggling. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety, sadness, or grief. Life doesn't have to be this way. How would it feel to know that you ARE good enough? What if you were able to quiet that inner critic and be more loving and accepting of yourself? How would it feel to feel safe and secure and to connect with your intuition and heart? All of this is possible.

Pregnant, postpartum, or parent of littles? Navigating the challenges of parenthood is not always made easier by the joys. Maybe you’re here as a mom struggling with all of the adjustments postpartum, you’re a dad feeling more irritable than you’d like, you’re crying or worrying a lot, having difficulty bonding with your baby, missing your independence, finding it hard to make time for your own needs, experienced a loss or scary birth, or you don't feel like yourself as an expectant parent, a new parent, or an experienced parent. We tend to have many expectations about parenthood and need help adjusting when things don’t go to plan.

Difficult feelings can be a doorway for personal growth. Living in modern society with it's many stressors, it is easy to lose connection with what gives us fulfillment. Relationships may fall apart, anxiety may plague us more hours than not, or we may just feel " stuck" and not living up to our full potential. Therapy can help. Although taking the first step to enter therapy can be anxiety provoking, the inner rewards of the experience can be well worth it.

Lasting change first requires understanding. At times, we all experience feeling "stuck" due to long-held beliefs, expectations and patterns of behavior. I provide support and guidance to help you identify where these "stuck" places have originated, so that you can move forward with greater self-awareness, compassion, and intentionality. Having trained to work with both children and adults, I offer a greater awareness of how early experiences have impacted people throughout their lifetimes, and how they continue to influence relationships, mood, and functioning into adulthood.

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.
