If you're interested in improving your overall well-being or looking for support in navigating grief & loss, anxiety, and low self-esteem, I would love to connect with you! If you want to learn more about my practice or get started in our work together, you can visit my website or email me today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
Have you recently experienced the death of a loved one, encountered a significant life transition, or needed support in healing and nurturing your relationship with yourself? People usually experience distress and overwhelm long before deciding to begin working with a therapist and often lack meaningful support as they navigate life's challenges. You don't have to figure it all out by yourself. I'm here to help you learn how to embrace and integrate the difficult parts of your life into the rest of your being, a way to find healing and build a life that includes not just these complex parts but also the most joyful aspects of life.

I believe that we are all worthy of dignity, respect and love. This does not mean we have not suffered or experienced shame, guilt and loss-for things we have done and things that have been done to us. With you as the guide and me in a support role, I hope we can explore these issues so that healing and peace will occur. On this sometimes difficult and challenging journey, I hope we can get to work together to find resolution and understanding and come to the place where you are empowered to make new and healthier choices. I am currently unable to take on new clients at this time.

Navigating life can be challenging, particularly when faced with family conflicts, work stress, health concerns, and personal roadblocks. It’s common to feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and stress, making it difficult to live a meaningful life. However, I believe that each person has an innate capacity for resilience. Through genuine support, understanding, validation, and empathy, resiliency can be discovered. Along this path, the most significant element you can bring to therapy is your authentic self, including your struggles and distinct lived experiences.

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.
