I specialize in the areas of grief recovery, women's issues, childhood behavioral disorders including ADHD and Autism, parenting, as well as the treatment of children and adults with depression and anxiety.
Where are we without hope? I utilize a hope instilling, collaborative and compassionate approach, inviting each client to work toward meeting their unique goals in a safe and supportive environment. Hope is cultivated as we successfully set goals, learn workable strategies to achieve those goals and take action steps to obtain those goals. No matter what you are facing, you can learn how to cultivate hope today to overcome every obstacle.
We are a new practice and three members strong, each clinician offers a wide variety of clinical services and specialties. I would love the opportunity to work with you in a relaxed, non-judgmental space.
I have experience working with trauma, PTSD, domestic violence victims, health issues, depression, anxiety, grief, and many other issues.
I enjoy getting to know my clients. We develop short and long-term goals based on your preferences. I offer culturally-sensitive, inclusive services with respect for the client's definition of self. I offer the option of short and longterm therapy. At times, a visit or two may be all that is needed to help clients move forward.

I enjoy working with all clients, from infants to seniors. We help people to define and achieve their personal goals. We provide assessment and counseling, offering referrals for additional services as needed. We usually work on relationship issues, both with others and with ourselves. We help define a contract with clients, including their strengths and challenges, to pinpoint the changes they would like to make. Clients have resolved marriage, divorce, custody, parenting issues, vocational and personal problems including acute and chronic depression and anxiety, and addictions. We also have had success helping people overcome various personality and social engagement issues.

Grief Support Groups
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.
