Are you feeling invisible? Angry about a breakup? Have you recently experienced a loss/death? Do you feel misunderstood? Are you experiencing more pain, burnout, and/or fatigue than normal? Does your adolescent need extra support? Is your family/relationship falling apart? If your answer to any of these questions is "Yes," or even if you have questions of your own, it may be time to reach out and talk through those thoughts and feelings. I would be delighted to be the person you reach out to.

I offer support to adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders, and especially enjoy supporting clients navigating life transitions, grief and loss.
We all have the capacity for growth and change, and the pain we carry usually develops from unhelpful stories that we've learned to tell ourselves over time. These stories - which we often learn through the systems we operate within - can impact the way we move, respond and connect, and can sometimes keep us stuck. I think we can grow by understanding how our stories started, by noticing the powerful information that our bodies give us about our emotional pain, and by working to unravel and re-craft our stories in a way that leaves us feeling more empowered, flexible, and whole.

It is a difficult thing to heal what we don't realize is impacting us. Recognizing we continually come back to the same belief or feeling over & over, helps us to know our past is informing our present. Trauma comes in all forms; death, abuse, difficult relationships, and less obvious ways: a hard time in childhood, not getting the emotional support we needed when we were young, even a constant fear of not having money or safety. Trauma doesn't look the same for everyone. Big 'T' or little 't' trauma plays a role in our present lives AND we can grow beyond it.

My goal is help empower my clients with the tools and skills needed to manage anxiety and grief in a health way.
When certain aspects of your life feel unmanageable, entering therapy can be a rewarding journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. Do challenges arise repeatedly in personal and professional relationships, especially during times of transition? Therapy is one of the most effective ways to improve relationships with others by exploring and strengthening a trusting relationship with Self. Often, my clients experience a significant reduction in anxiety, an improvement in communication, and effective problem resolution.

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.
