I have experience working with clients experiencing grief, secondary traumatic stress; that are victims of crime, abuse or bullying, and those struggling with family or life changes.
I believe that people show their greatest strength and resiliency if they have an outlet for their emotions and a empathetic guide for how to navigate goals, struggles, triumphs and stress. I practice from a holistic approach that aims to help a client identify and utilize their greatest strengths to achieve wholeness and wellness. I have extensive experience working with victims of crime as an advocate and trauma informed therapist. I love working with children and youth (ages 6-18). Additionally I work with adults who are first responders or medical personnel struggling with work related traumatic stress.

I understand that you are at a loss for words to truly describe what you're going through.
People keep telling you that you are so strong and yet you don't feel strong. You feel overwhelmed by being strong. You are surrounded by friends and family who keep asking what they can do for you, but you don't know what to say. You feel loved by the people around you and you also feel alone. You want to find yourself again and to have hope for the future.

From my time in the Marine Corps to life as a counselor, I've seen trauma and grief, personally, and with friends and family.
If you are feeling like the stress of life is beating you down, then you have come to the right place. It can be like you just woke up and realized that you feel lost, and you don’t know where to turn. Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes you just need some help. Life can bring us loss, trauma, and grief. It can be difficult and painful. These things can hold us back from being the person we want to be. I am passionate about helping people, and couples overcome the barriers they face and lead a healthy and successful life. I would love to come alongside you and help you navigate these difficulties. Just send me an email.

After the death of a sibling and then becoming a parental caregiver to a cancer survivor, I understand uniquely the impact of anxiety, trauma, loss, grief, and the need for a place to process it at YOUR pace without feeling minimized in your struggle.
You were keeping it together, but your coping strategies no longer keep anxiety or depression at bay. Do you feel alone, angry and hurt? Are your mood, your relationships and/or your work-life balance are starting to feel a tad bit strained? We really dig into the root of your limiting thoughts, self-sabotaging behaviors, and why you feel the way you do so you can finally thrive, even after trauma, loss, or childhood trauma. I help adults who want to stop feeling lonely, hurt, angry, overwhelmed, easily triggered and hopeless gain clarity, find peace with the past, build resilience for the present, and create change that lasts.

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.
