Now accepting NEW clients! We all experience difficulties in life: breakups, divorce, grief and loss as well as trouble with school or work performance. We believe quality mental health services should be available when inevitable events knock us off course and we can't "fix" it ourselves. Most people try several remedies before therapy, but sometimes extra help is needed. We also recognize that everyone wants privacy, ranging from children to lawyers to other medical professionals. We were founded with you in mind. Your privacy is important to us, and shouldn't be a barrier to quality care.

I believe the growth and beauty of our resilience comes from dealing directly and gently with our pain, loss and obstacles, as well as spectacular adventures, planned and unplanned.
Do you want to take your life experiences to a more fulfilling level? Do you know your 'issues' and 'patterns,' yet still find yourself stuck and dealing with the same problems within yourself or relationships repeatedly? We often begin our greatest work where things feel limiting. My passion for this work comes from a desire to be a part of people’s courageous experiences of understanding who they are, while letting go of who they aren’t. I specialize in working with professionals in the tech industry, business, creative endeavors; stay-at-home parents; and people transitioning in their lives, as well as couples in troubled waters.

My focus is working with women who struggle with depression, trauma, grief, shame/guilt, anxiety, spiritual abuse, emotional, and sexual abuse.
I have journeyed with adults experiencing a wide variety of issues, in practice for 20+ years. Although I spend time exploring the specific problem that brings you into counseling or therapy, I will also explore in depth the nature of your relationships with other significant people in your life. I will do this in such a way as to challenge ineffective ways of living and provide for personal change to occur. Change at this level requires more than new skills or understanding. I will help you work through and take responsibility for the specific situations you are facing.

I also work with individuals navigating the dizzying and devastating grief process after a significant loss.
Divorce doesn't feel like the right option, and yet, something needs to change. You and your spouse are missing that connection that used to come so easily. You find yourself fighting over all the little things. Or, maybe there's so little connection between you that you feel more like roommates and are missing that spark... Or, maybe you recently learned the devastating news about your partner’s affair. Let me help you find the light at the end of the tunnel.

I understand how difficult it can be to parent effectively, especially when it comes to improving communication and creating a peaceful home without resorting to yelling, screaming, or empty threats. Mastering positive parenting can be tough and overwhelming. Are you constantly arguing with your child or finding yourself using threats and getting into disagreements? Do you struggle to get your child to help with chores or show respect? I completely understand as I've been in similar situations. It's normal to want to feel in control while leading a balanced and satisfying life.

“If they really knew me, they wouldn’t love me,” your mind whispers in response to the pang of loneliness from your heart. Once again, you retreat back to the safety of your self-imposed solitude with your favorite true crime podcast. You are painfully aware that the mask you wear is who they all love - that carefully curated version who could pass for the helpful and entertaining but generally forgettable neighborhood parent on any sitcom. But that’s not you. The goal has always been to protect everyone else, but now the kids are grown, the career is stable, and that mask is really starting to chafe.

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.
