I see adults who struggle with anxiety, stress and/or relationship issues. I see people who are overwhelmed with grief, college adjustment or depression. I see people who are unable to move forward. Sometimes there is a single recent event that has triggered this problem. More often, there are other events from the past that have caused someone to become "stuck". My clients want to become "unstuck", to feel better, and to gain a more fulfilling daily life.

We specialize in couples, grief, trauma, and children/adolescents who are seeking more effective ways to cope with and adjust to life changes.
Life rarely goes as planned. When you've been hit with a major life event, such as the loss of a loved one, an affair, or the birth of a child, you may experience fear, isolation, sadness, or anger. Although life changes can be a source of excitement and growth, they often bring up unresolved issues, including perfectionism, shame, and past trauma. If you want to be able to cope effectively with life's biggest transitions, you need a compassionate therapist who specializes in your area of need, so that you can find peace and joy in your life again.

Relationships and life transitions often involve loss, grief, and sadness. Emotional pain, moreover, often makes everyday life seem unbearable and exhausting. Outpatient counseling and psychotherapy - both marital and individual - can facilitate the relief of the sadness, confusion, and anxiety that are part of working through personal and relational stressors. The approaches and models in which I have been trained and educated - interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic therapies - are also informed by and infused with with the essential, humane and core qualities of empathy, understanding, warmth, and genuineness.

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.

With 20 years’ experience, my core assumption is that each of us has the innate capacity to do all of the following: feel happy; form close and satisfying relationships with others; manage situations effectively; make good decisions; and even heal from trauma and loss. However, sometimes that innate capacity gets blocked. That is when we run into emotional or behavioral problems. It is my job to help you understand what is blocking your own innate capacity so those blocks can dissolve.

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.
