There are situations in life when you may feel it's too difficult to handle things on your own. Sometimes family and friends are unable to give you the guidance or insight that you may need to resolve or manage your problem. It's in these times that therapy can help. I have successfully treated a wide-range of issues including, but not limited to; grief, loss, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders. I have also successfully worked with couples who are dealing with infidelity and/or communication issues.

I am a believer that if the mind and body are focused on goals, obstacles can be overcome, as you become more confident and powerful. We will begin our journey together as we work in small steps toward developing your new goals. These will always be your goals and I am here to help guide you toward them. My work begins by listening to you and then we will summarize what your expectations are. Then I will reflect to you what you have communicated. I will tell you what we can expect to change and how we will be able to make that change happen.

Life is full of changes. While any change can be trying and stressful, some are harder on us than others. The death of a loved one, a traumatic health event, diagnosis of a chronic disease, ending of a relationship, these can be especially challenging and really rock our sense of safety and well-being. These changes can lead us to feeling lost, anxious, sad, angry, or just plain "stuck".

I work with the philosophy that we don't have to agree with one another to have compassion for one other. I see individuals, couples and families. In the past I have worked with children as young as three (yet currently only see kids 14 and older). If you are seeking parenting support for your child/children, I offer a blended approach to supporting you based on where each specific child is in their development.

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.
