Supporting individuals (teens and adults) as well as couples, I utilize a flexible and theoretically integrated approach to assist those who are experiencing or living with the impact of traumatic experiences, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and difficult transitions that occur throughout life.
As a psychotherapist, I believe that treatment is most effective when we feel comfortable, supported, heard and understood. My objective is to create a safe space in which I can collaborate with clients to identify problems and formulate solutions, develop coping skills, increase self-awareness and confidence, and ultimately support them in improving their own relationship with themselves while building strong, resilient relationships with others.

Having previously worked with clients who have experienced loss, abuse, and other disruptive events in their lives, I am very sensitive to how these experiences can affect and shape future perspectives.
You may choose therapy for multiple reasons. Whether you are here to resolve relationship conflicts, life transition, loss, or to manage stressors with work, taking this first step can be quite challenging as well as rewarding. Dealing with life problems is often the most challenging aspect of our daily lives; problems often become bigger when you try to ignore them. My goal is to help you understand and overcome these problems. Together, we will work through your vulnerabilities, fears, and beliefs to have a better understanding of how things can be improved.

I have over 15 years of experience counseling individuals, family and couples through everyday challenges as well as life changing events including grief, loss and trauma.
Do you ever feel like you “should” have everything sorted and things “should” be moving along as planned, but for some reason they are not? You have moments where you feel okay, even some days you feel good, but then even more moments where you feel overwhelmed, anxious and unsure about the future. Do you feel stuck, like you’re not in control of your own story? Are you ready to be more present, to find and cultivate greater levels of joy, peace and balance in a world that seems to be full of uncertainty. Together, I believe we can reach past our old habits and expand our ways of being and experiencing life with courage and grace.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming and vulnerable. As a highly sensitive person, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where I can help you navigate obstacles that will ultimately foster growth and healing. I'm genuinely interested in understanding more about you, including areas where you might be facing challenges in relationship with yourself or others. As a holistic clinician, I firmly believe in the interconnectedness of our minds and bodies. The traumas from our past or current experiences can reside within both, calling for exploration and integration for healing.

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.
