Group meets in East Islip, NY 11730
Currently accepting new clients! I am a mental health counselor with a limited permit to practice in New York. I have additional training in grief and trauma-informed care and experience in several settings including a psychiatric and rehabilitation hospital, a Buffalo charter school, and agencies. My focus is with adults, families, and couples utilizing an eclectic therapeutic approach in order to successfully meet the needs of a plethora of different and unique presenting issues. I obtained my M.S. from Canisius College and B.A in psychology from Buffalo State University. I am also a member of the American Counseling Association.
Starting SEPT 5! Through this virtual group, you will get a foundational understanding of one modality that can be particularly helpful for ongoing health issues: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (pronounced “ACT”). Many modalities seek symptom reduction as an outcome of treatment, however with ongoing health issues, symptom reduction may not be a realistic end goal. As such, the ACT approach of pursuing what is important in the presence of symptoms emerges as a more realistic endeavor. Join this 8-week ACT workshop to learn strategies for managing difficult thoughts, feelings & emotions and find ways of committing to you values-based living.

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.
