I specialize in working with children and adults that have experienced significant life changes such as chronic illness, grief, anxiety, and adjustment concerns.
Is your family going through a major life change or stressor? Perhaps a parent or child is sick? Maybe there has been a loss, a move, or another big event? As a parent, you want so badly to support your child when they are dealing with changes, but sometimes you just don't know how. You might feel guilty, sad or frustrated that you don't know how to help. Your child may need their own space to process what is going on for them, as well as a safe space where you can work through these adjustments together. Therapy can be that space.

Due to my life experiences I feel honored to treat a range of situations; grief and loss, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, public speaking fears (I use to hate speaking in front of groups, not now!) self-esteem, guilt, worry, trauma, PTSD, spiritual and metaphysical principles.
Are you feeling out of sorts? Maybe overwhelmed, sad, down, worry too much, hurt too much, and don’t know what do to next? Or maybe you are experiencing deep grief and would like some relief from the relentless tears and sadness. Believe me you are not alone. Remembering times in my life when I did not even know what I was feeling, I felt so isolated, lost and confused. I happened to stumble upon a professional that helped me. Someone that I could trust and felt very comfortable with. I was very hesitant to take this step but somehow I did. It was by far the best thing I have ever done for myself. This is why I became a therapist.

My special areas of interest are exploring identity issues with adoptees and supporting those struggling with life transitions, including grief and loss.
I enjoy working with individuals of different ages, ethnicity, in need of individual, couples or family sessions. I believe that life is a journey, which at times, can be very challenging. Sometimes we find ourselves at a crossroads, trying to decide our direction. Staying on familiar paths can be easier yet repetitive and stagnant. Growth means change and following new paths, though unfamiliar and with unseen risks. Therapy can help one believe in themselves and try new paths, with the therapist lighting the way.

I have many years of experience in hospice and bereavement and have experienced the death of a spouse, and both parents.
Loss is universal to all of us. When we grieve someone we have lost to death it is usually profound and can create a myriad of emotions (sadness, anger, guilt, relief, etc.) There are other losses in life: divorce, job loss, a geographical move away from home or what is familiar to us, an illness (life threatening or chronic). We can feel adrift and unsettled. Sometimes the very essence of who we thought we were, our very identity is shattered. Sharing your loss with someone who has many years of experience can help in establishing a new sense of self. If you are experiencing loss, please call Peninsula Therapy.

I also do work with adults struggling with depression, trauma, intense emotions, anxiety, grief, and recent life transitions.
Hello and thank you for visiting my profile page. My passion is helping people find and reclaim their inner strengths and abilities. All too often, therapy focuses on the negatives - i.e. what is going wrong with life. I believe it is just as important to figure out what is going right, and that is why we will work on two things: 1.) Lessening you or your child's suffering, and 2.) Building up self-esteem and self-reliance in the process.

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.
