I utilize elements of the NARM (NARM Master Therapist), mind-body connection, Trust Based Relational Intervention, grief and loss, strengths perspective and the research of Brené Brown in my work with clients.
At times, life can feel so heavy that it feels difficult to breath. It’s times like this when we’re overwhelmed with emotion and/or a negative internal voice and often feel alone. You deserve to be heard and seen in a safe, collaborative space. I provide a compassionate place to rest your heart and mind to help you process your feelings. Together, we identify your intentions while honoring your struggles with authenticity and compassionately explore what gets in way of what you would like for yourself. I look forward to connecting with you!

My ideal client would be where you find yourself trying to hold it together, and you may not look for help until a situation has gotten worse and its almost a crisis. That situation will significantly affect your life, and you will hit a breaking point. This might be self-esteem, anxiety, depression, adjusting to life changes, codependency, grief, health issues, or just feeling stuck. It's hard to ask for help but here you are, and what you thought might work is not working any more. You would find yourself in my office feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, confused but feeling like you had taken the first step to finding HOPE.

Everyone has the potential for greatness. It's a matter of how we learn to use life's experiences, challenges and triumphs to actualize the best of who we are. In exploring our history, communication habits, relationship and behavioral patterns, we earn more power in using this for good in our lives. Between balancing responsibilities, prioritizing relationships and simply getting out of the door every morning, it is easy to forget to make time for our own well being.

You are strong—lately you’re overwhelmed, afraid of failure, and you find yourself spinning out. You try to push it aside and be strong, but you keep tripping over “it.” That nagging narrative you tell yourself, “I’m a failure,” and the fear, if others find out you will be exposed as weak, powerless, an imposter. The hidden panic courses through you like a constant current. You’re exhausted, but you have to keep going after all, you are the leader, the one others come to for safety. Except, now, you need someone to offer you the felt sense of safety apart from the avoidance of vulnerability, it is too much, you are too much.

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.
