In order to support you to address thought processes, feelings, and sensations linked to distressing events, I integrate a variety of interventions including: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), grief counseling, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT).
Do you find yourself feeling isolated in your feelings or struggles, like no one quite understands? Have you suffered a loss or experienced a life change that has resulted in grief? Do you feel as if you should have “moved on” by now or are “stuck”? Do your struggles prevent you from feeling as if you can be fully present and enjoy your life as you would like to? Would you like to develop skills to assist in living the life you desire?

Many people remark they wish they had a handbook with specific directions on how to be a good parent. If you happen to be one of the selected who have an atypical child a generic handbook wouldn’t help anyway. Second guessing every decision you make can be overwhelming and emotional at times where you just don’t know what to do. You probably feel like you can’t possibly go on like this forever. These thoughts and feelings are quite natural and don’t mean you are not a good parent. Maybe you just need a new playbook for your specific situation.

Distress can look very different person-to-person. You may feel anxious in social situations, unsafe because of past trauma, at a loss with your intimate partner, or increasingly concerned about your relationship with alcohol and other substances. Perhaps you're feeling misunderstood or marginalized by others, or facing structural barriers that lead to feelings of helplessness and low self-worth. If any of these circumstances speak to you, it's important to have an affirming space where you can share your experience without judgement, to feel safe and at ease, and to discover new ways of overcoming adversities in your life.

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.
