Hello and welcome! Starting a therapy journey can come with many emotions and sometimes worry... will the therapist be the "right fit," or someone who "gets me/us" or "who can just help?" These are common questions and I hope that learning a little bit about me and my approach is helpful as you make your decision.

It's never too late! How to embrace the perfectly imperfect person that you are.

Whether through mistakes, failures, regrets, or loss-pain has found its way into our sense of self and its now time to resolve it. We get tired of spinning our wheels on the same issues, repeating relationship patterns, accepting good enough because we don't know how to move forward. Have you considered that support could be the key to growth and a way out of stuck?

You may notice the push-pull of opposing experiences inside your mind at the same time. On one hand, you feel joy, but a part of you also feels sad. Maybe you feel excited, yet something warns you not to get your hopes up because it’ll never work out. Perhaps you love your partner but don't really like them. Or you feel stuck in a job for financial security, but deeply desire change that will allow you to live truer to yourself.

When I was a kid I swore I'd never have the same job that my mom had. Being a therapist sounded like hard work with trying to understand theories and analytic terms. However, over the years I came to realize that listening to people talk about what's on their mind doesn't feel like work at all! It feels like the most natural thing in the world to me. Creating a space for people to feel comfortable and safe talking about anything they want, without fear of judgement, is why I'm here. If I can help others feel like they're not alone and have someone on their side, my choice to follow in my mom's steps was a success.

I have 30+ years of experience working with individuals in psychotherapy. I provide a safe and collaborative environment in which we can develop a relationship that promotes healing of the self. Therapy is art as well as science, and I combine compassion and intuition with a solid theoretical base to provide treatment that encourages personal development. I believe our early experiences influence the way that we process our later experiences, and therapy can change how we understand our lives so that our responses can become more adaptive and healthy to live happier, more fulfilling lives.

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.
