I have experience working with areas such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD/trauma, end of life issues, grief, co-occurring disorders, and stress/life transitions.
Welcome. As each one of us can be faced with challenges, loss, adversity, and transition, sometimes we need a little extra support during those times. Therapy can be a safe space to explore problems, navigate new situations, learn additional coping skills, and understand where you may be stuck on an issue. As a therapist, I provide an open, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients can freely explore their issues and emotions. I integrate different therapeutic techniques to best match what may be useful for my clients and their specific needs during treatment.

I have worked with individuals, couples, and families on addressing issues of trauma, abuse (sexual, physical, neglect), grief, depression, anxiety, parenting, intimate partner violence and many others.
There are times in your life when you feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, scared, confused, lost, or alone. During these times it can be difficult to understand the emotions you are feeling and it can be difficult to process and verbalize them, especially to family, friends, or loved ones. Making the decision to attend therapy can be scary, but it takes a lot of courage. Therapy is a safe, neutral, open space where you have the freedom to explore and express yourself. I look forward to being a part of your journey.

Throughout my career I have worked with individuals and families dealing with various issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, parenting, women's issues, domestic violence, life transitions and trauma.
Sometimes life can become overwhelming and you can feel as though you have no where to turn. When going through those times, one of the hardest things you can do is ask for help but it is also one of the bravest things you can do. Congratulations on taking that first step! Seeking out a therapist suggests you have a desire to change. I offer a safe and supportive environment that can facilitate those changes.

I specialize in helping them cope with their feelings, as they move through these periods of transition, so they can learn how to be resilient.

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.
