I use a collaborative and strengths-based approach to address: grief and loss, caregiver support, anxiety, and ADHD in a world that is overbooked and filled with challenges.
Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as remaining stuck where you don't belong. Life is change. I help people navigate through life's changes and losses. Whether it's the death of a loved one, the loss of a pet, a relationship ending or a career transition, your grief is valid and real. I specialize in guiding people through the storm and come out the other side, not only surviving, but thriving. My job is to help give you new tools to work through the transition and loss and help you rediscover yourself along the way.

However, couples counseling, anxiety, depression, grief, identity development, men’s issues, relationship concerns, trauma, and women’s health represent my particular passions.
The core of effective therapy involves creating a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can be yourself. In my work with individual adults and couples, I focus on building this foundation so we can explore those deeper emotions (anger, fear, grief, shame) and promote more supportive connections. My approach is flexible and completely dependent on your needs, but my goal is always to make you feel more whole, whether that means discussing the past, exploring the present, or focusing on the future.

I have worked with married couples across my career as well as individuals and groups in grief.
The wound is the way. Wise words from a trusted friend that helped me through a low place in my life and shaped my understanding of healing. I learned that avoiding pain and denying its effects only prolongs the suffering. But talking about it, writing about it, and feeling the pain of the wound somehow lessens its effects on us and allows us to go on. Chances are, you're carrying a wound and the pain is getting in the way of your health and happiness, your work and family. Is it a wound of betrayal, agonizing loss, anxiety or depression from childhood trauma, anger that wrecks your interactions with people? The wound is the way.

As the Center for Loss and Life Transition so beautifully shares "anyone old enough to love is old enough to grieve.
I'm a therapist for grieving children and their families in Asheville, NC, and previously in the Bronx, NY. My training includes a Master’s degree from Columbia University, fellowship with the National Health Service Corps, certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Registered Play Therapist Supervisor credential. I've served as the VP of the NY Association for Play Therapy, taught as an adjunct lecturer, and authored several publications (including children's books addressing grief). My hope is to be a therapeutic companion to children and families experiencing grief and loss.

We all have important stories to share; stories of pain, grief, joy, sorrow, fear, and empowerment. I love to come alongside others as they make sense of their stories and grow in compassion and kindness for themselves. I enjoy meeting my clients right where they are and being a part of their life's journey. As a counselor, I tend to be curious, open-handed, and flexible, viewing clients as the experts on themselves, inherently possessing the natural ability to grow and heal.

To do this, I bring a curiosity about holding multiple truths simultaneously, an honoring of death, an attention to the whispers of the body, a love of story and an ongoing quest to uncover the most authentic Self.
Most of us, at some point, feel disappointed with life. Maybe we expected it to be more. More joy. More peace. More connection with others. More meaning. We’re not looking for perfection, but is this all there is? You may label this feeling grief, anxiety, loneliness, depression, addiction, or you may be unable to give it a name. It may surface in you individually, or in your relationships. That nagging sense of discontent serves as a wake up call and it deserves attention. This is the purpose of my practice.

Life’s events shape us throughout our development. They provide us with our highest highs and lowest lows. Therapy can help us move through those low moments, so we do not become stuck making every new moment feel as though we are experiencing it through quicksand. I have more than 10 years’ experience providing individual, couples, and family therapy to people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship conflict, family conflict, grief, adjustment to life events, stage of life changes, systemic trauma, and more.

Life can bring waves of transition; many are excellent, and others are more complex. I enjoy partnering with older adults and their families to provide support and explore ways to improve the quality of life for all. Typical areas of exploration may include retirement, end of life, grief, loss of independence, caregiver stress, role reversal/confusion, depression, isolation, anxiety, and life inventory. I offer a holistic and client-centered approach embracing empowerment, narratives, and strengths to rebalance joy and fulfillment as life transitions.

Are you stuck? Are you unsure of how talking alone is going to change your experience of anxiety, depression, or other patterns in your life?
