Treatment focus includes depression, anxiety, situational stressors, anger management strategies, and bereavement issues.
I have treated numerous individuals whose issues have focused on depresssion, anxiety, varied grief reactions, and situational stressors. All of them have similar needs in common. They seek understanding, the need to be heard, a safe place to voice their concerns in a non-judgemental atmosphere. Their goals are common. They want to acquire knowledge and ways to seek relief from feelings of depression, feelings of anxiety, new ways of thinking that will open up new avenues of self discovery and hope for the future. Many of them express the need to re-connect with friends, family, to make their lives more productive.

Helping my clients feel safe as they explore their struggles, losses, fears, disappointments, and traumas is the first step in effective therapy.
What would your life be like if your anxiety, depression, grief, or overwhelming emotions improved by even just a little? What if you no longer had to navigate life’s difficulties alone? Would it feel like growth?... Strength?... Confidence? … Relief? Rather than your emotions taking over you, let's work together as you learn to gain more control over them, instead.

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.

Are you wanting to overcome challenges that seem too difficult to manage on your own? These challenges could be stress, anxiety, feelings of sadness or a loss of motivation. Challenges can also look like making a career move or saying goodbye to a loved one. You may want to deal with trauma that seems too frightening to talk about. You may want to finally have feelings of peace or happiness that seem out of reach or finally have a place to share your story without feeling judged.

EVERY one of us experiences some sort of imbalance, frustration, confusion, loss, and/or dissatisfaction with certain areas of our lives–and therapy is a great place to explore those areas for improvement. Some of my clients simply want a space to express themselves, connect with another human, or explore challenges in their lives from different angles. Others may be going through changes or difficult circumstances and want a space to receive support and encouragement. I also work with folks experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, and other mental health conditions who are looking for relief from their symptoms.

I enjoy working with adults who experience symptoms consistent with ADHD and who also suffer from emotional distress such as depression, anxiety, hoarding, grief/ loss, self-esteem issues, life transitions and/or trauma.
You're smart and you know it but sometimes you feel like an imposter. You thrive in ordered spaces, but your environment doesn't reflect that. You're competitive but struggle with even the slightest criticism. You can have months to complete a project that you could complete in a couple of days - tops. Yet you put it off, until the last week - or even days - stressing the whole time but managing somehow to pull it off at the last minute. You're creative but can get overwhelmed with the vastness of ideas and thoughts that come to your mind, so much so that it is difficult for you to focus and develop your ideas to completion.

Experience a life where grief no longer defines you, where you’re empowered to embrace new possibilities and create healthy patterns.
Echoes of your earliest traumas grow stronger as grief makes it difficult to breathe. You’ll be trapped here forever; you’re sure of it. Trapped in a cycle of pain that seems impossible to break, as if on an empty rollercoaster that never stops. You’ve endured one loss after the other… after the other. Now, you’re back in the loop again, repeating unhealthy patterns that have never worked and never will. You can see there’s a ride less draining, and more thrilling, and it’s right in front of you but just out of reach. So, you continue to stay put, alone, both anxious and defeated, going round and round again.

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.
