Bereavement Therapists in Geneva District
If you are currently struggling with grief, relationship issues, anxiety, perfectionism or you generally consider yourself a sensitive/anxious individual (or even a highly sensitive person) you have come to the right place.
I work from an integrative approach, which means I see you as a multi-faceted being with unique needs, but my main modalities include humanistic person-centered, CBT, and somatic mindfulness. In my couples work, I mainly use the Gottman approach, an evidence based framework for couples counseling.

We can all find life uncertain and overwhelming at times. Sometimes a crisis arises that feels unresolvable without professional help, or maybe events from the past weigh on us for no apparent reason. I have found the most common reasons to seek psychotherapy are related to depression, stress, anxiety, challenges with eating, and relationship problems. Experience shows that our psyche is able to bring itself back into balance and heal itself, given the right circumstances. Therapy provides a supportive environment to discuss such concerns, explore underlying causes and strengthen our ability to make desired life changes.

Life can be bumpy, sometimes. Change is always happening, be it in love, in work, in health and in the larger world around us. At times it can be useful to have someone by your side to navigate those changes, and increase clarity about the choices available, and the directions you might want to explore. Transitions and transformations are, I believe, what make life interesting - even though tough and rough at intervals. Gaining agency and insight in a place that is non-judgmental will help you make your choices, aligning yourself with your deepest sense of self.

Bereavement Counsellors
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.
