So, what happens when you bring your humanness, your grief, your depression, fears, and "messiness" into a shared presence with someone who understands and accepts you just as you are? In such an intentional space, self-compassion can emerge and open a path to healing, acceptance, and meaningful change.
I am no different than you. I too have grieved and felt lost and struggled at times. I too have sought compassionate presence when I needed it most. And that's what gives me the ability to connect with my clients. I truly believe that we are all in this together. There are many helpful treatment approaches which I and other therapists utilize, but ultimately I have seen healing and growth take place in the context of therapeutic relationship and presence. That is what I am committed to bringing to those I serve.

I work with adults and older adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief/ loss, relationship problems, and phase-of-life concerns.
I began working in the field over 20 years ago, in university counseling centers across the South. Now in private practice, I see adolescents-middle age adults. I strive to join my clients at the point in their process where old patterns are no longer working and collaborate with them to find new ones. I like to set goals together that provide a roadmap for the course of our work, and I challenge my clients to work on things not only in session, but also in their everyday lives. I view therapy as a temporary stop along life’s path; a realignment that sends my clients back out there as healthier and happier versions of themselves.

I specialize in EMDR. I work primarily online with trauma, anxiety and grief. My clients are usually seeking EMDR for their therapeutic modality. It works so well that they begin to notice change within the first few sessions. Anxiety, fear, “monkey mind” etc. lessens and they get relief. They learn to use these skills for sleep problems, grief related issues and to calm themselves when angry or overwhelmed. They are seeking relief from invasive symptoms that make their lives harder and less joyful. Their hearts often “crack open”with love when they move from their heads to a more heart centered awareness.

While I have worked with many populations and issues over the years, I have particular expertise with dealing with life changes and grief and motivation issues.
I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from talking to someone neutral at some point in their life. Even for those people who have been fortunate to have support people in their life, a neutral party can be helpful as often our support people cannot be neutral or we have thoughts about not wanting to 'burden' them. This is a big part of how I see my role- a neutral party for people to be able to share their experiences with freely without fear of judgment and to be able to provide alternatives and skills to help life feel more manageable.

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.
