Multitasking is exhausting! Look at you - always doing at least two things (how many computer screens to you have in front of you right now?), thinking about three other things and in another compartment of your mind worrying about how many more? Technology has led us to believe that doing more in less time is better, but then that only leave more time to do more. When do you feel you have permission to actually do less? Maybe even say 'no' to someone or something?

I help people work through anxiety and traumatic events they have experienced in life. Some have been in the battlefield of war, many have been in the battlefield of their own home. The very place where safety and nurturing were expected became the source of fear and confusion. Some can't really remember trauma, they have just always known this sense of dread and excessive worry. My mission is to create an accepting and supportive environment that helps you recognize patterns in your life that maintain your distress and find new thoughts and actions that will bring you the freedom to become the best version of yourself.

I offer short-term, solution-focused therapy. My clients are successful people whom I respect and admire. Like in other areas of their lives when an issue occurs, they want answers and a course of action. Providing for others, they have often put aside their own needs. Their work and personal relationships are intertwined. Talking about how to move forward can be a timeout when one can determine the next steps. Hearing yourself talk aloud about what has been on your mind and heart may give clarity in differentiating between want and need. I encourage clients to gift themselves with time aside.

The scope of my therapy practice is based on the belief that children are growing, developing individuals who at times need assistance beyond their families and school structures to develop emotional and social skills, self confidence, and coping skills to handle stressors. Children are often more open than adults to change and I absolutely love getting to see them transform and grow. I work with children and adolescents ages 4 to 18.

You are juggling numerous responsibilities at a rapid-fire pace, doing so with fewer resources than you feel you need. Before long, you've stopped connecting with others in positive ways, leisure activities become after-thoughts, and you can't recall when you last had a “good day.” This is not the life you envisioned, and perhaps you're wondering, "how did I get here?" Your inner critic has a lofty list of your failures and reasons why you can't live your best life. But did you know? Failure is just data. Life can be both manageable and enjoyable.

I have worked as a counselor for 20 years and encounter youth and adults who suffer from mood disorders, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, separation anxiety, grief, and trauma.
I am trained in Motivational Interviewing, which is an evidenced-based counseling style with a person-centered approach that is collaborative and goal-oriented focused on change talk. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring reasons for change in an atmosphere of compassion and acceptance honoring a person's autonomy, resourcefulness, and ability to choose.

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.
