My experiences working in varied settings for over 25 years, which has given me the opportunity to work with individuals who face substance use, grief and trauma.
I believe therapy is an opportunity to learn more about yourself, and your interactions w/ others. Therapy can help when facing conflicts, emotional challenges, or adjusting to changes in your life. I have over 25 years of clinical experience, with the mental health and substance use disorder populations, working with men, women and couples. I use an eclectic, collaborative approach, individual to a persons needs. I provide a nonjudgmental, welcoming approach and make an effort to establish a strong trusting relationship. Appointments are available by both phone and video.

Alone. It's how so many of us feel inside. Even in the midst of a career, relationship or family, we may feel unseen and unheard, have trouble setting boundaries and priorities, find ourselves coping inauthentically, while experiencing a yearning for connection, meaning and a sense of deeper purpose. Others may be living with chronic illness or pain or have suffered a significant loss in their lives. I know exactly how that feels, and more importantly, as a Transformational Coach and Interfaith Minister, I know how you can experience a safer, more powerful, authentic, and connected way to walk in the world.

I focus on careful assessment and helping those in need of clinical services using a variety of evidenced based approaches. In my practice, I use a variety of treatment modalities such as individual, couple, group, and family therapy depending on individual needs. I have much experience working with psychiatric and behavioral problems such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, trauma-related disorders and so on. Teaching individuals how to manage and cope with symptoms of grief, marital problems, family conflict, divorce, parenting issues, and other relational problems are additional areas of specialty.

I believe all clients are competent and capable, but stress, anxiety, loss, and conflict distort clarity and damage connection.
I often meet clients when they are experiencing a difficult transition or conflict within the systems that matter most to them: typically family, friends, and self. I also make space for grief and loss, so that the experience is not isolating and intolerable. Through a variety of modalities I focus on the client's voice, experience, and barriers to personal contentment: this enables the client to be an active part of therapy, tapping into skills, solutions, and hope that might be out of reach without support.

As a therapist, I focus on creating a trusting and compassionate environment where you will feel safe in areas that await healing. I offer a shelter where you will learn to identify patterns that keep you ‘stuck’ and where you can explore new approaches and strategies that will allow your potential to b lossom.

Many of my clients contact me for support in one or more areas of their life that are challenging, such as marital or relationship discord; job or career dissatisfaction; feeling that life is passing one by; uncertainty with one's path in life; disproportionate dwelling on the past or future; or seeking empathic support for grief, loss, or unresolved past or recent trauma. Most ask to learn skills to increase distress tolerance, reduce ruminations, accept uncertainty, nurture self-compassion and self-worth, improve communication style, navigate co-existence with a difficult, unavoidable person (relative, colleague , etc), and more.

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.
