You may be living with trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, narcissistic abuse, depression, identity confusion, or chronic relationship pain—and wondering why the same patterns keep repeating.

Trauma has a way of staying with you — in your body, your relationships, and the quiet moments when you least expect it. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of something that happened long ago or something still unfolding, you don't have to keep carrying it alone. This is a space built for the full complexity of who you are — your identity, your story, the relationships that have shaped you — honored without judgment. Healing is possible, and it doesn't require you to have the right words or the whole picture. You just have to be willing to show up. The rest, we figure out together.

Most sessions focus on understanding how life experiences shape your perspective, influences the choices you make, and affect how you respond to challenges. Counseling is a process of building self-awareness, strengthening life skills, and creating practical tools you can continue to use long after therapy has ended.

I specialize in trauma, OCD, and working with first responders and high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and chronic stress.
In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding what brings you in and what you want to change. I’ll ask structured but conversational questions about your current concerns, relevant history, stressors, coping patterns, and goals. This isn’t an interrogation, and it’s not a deep dive into trauma on day one unless that feels appropriate.

I am a short term, wellness oriented and goal focused therapist. A joyful and purpose driven life is what most of us strive for. Sometimes we are temporarily knocked off the track by an unexpected life event or ongoing life situation that appears to be hopeless or unsolvable. These roadblocks, however, can be overcome with will, good support and the right tools necessary to change our attitudes and life circumstances so that life works for us, not against us, once again. For anxiety and depression I incorporate meditation, tapping, vagus nerve stimulation and relaxation exercises into my sessions to help you regain control.

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.
