I can teach you coping skills to meet life's daily challenges, whether you are feeling depressed, anxious, struggling with grief, dealing with PTSD, marital or family conflict.
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Do you ever think to yourself, "What's wrong with me?" or "How come I cannot snap out of it?" Let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with you and you simply cannot snap out of it. There are a lot of social stigmas when we have emotional struggles; we internalize these beliefs. Sometimes, we resist seeking treatment because it can be seen as a weakness because of underlying trauma or experience. This worsens over time whether you are depressed, anxious, fearful, frustrated, resentful, or angry. I believe many of us want to have understanding, support, empathy, and new coping methods.

I specialize in grief and loss, maternal mental health, faith-based counseling, and spiritual or existential exploration.
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or distressed during pregnancy or after having a baby, you’re not alone. You might find yourself constantly on edge, struggling to slow your thoughts, or carrying parts of your birth experience that still don’t feel resolved. I specialize in supporting women navigating postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, and the emotional weight that can come with motherhood. These seasons can hold both deep love and unexpected stress, and it’s okay if it’s not what you thought it would be. We’ll gently explore the pressures that are keeping you stuck, so you can begin to feel more grounded and yourself again.

Therapy should be a safe place where you can be yourself without being judged. Because you are unique, you want the therapist to think outside-of-the-box while providing structure. Many clients also crave feedback rather than the passive, “How do you feel about that?” over and over again.

I specialize in EMDR, CBT, and trauma-informed care for PTSD, trauma, anxiety, grief, military sexual trauma, and perinatal challenges.
Like a cast supports a broken bone, therapy supports your mind to heal. For combat veterans, first responders, military spouses, new mothers, and survivors of sexual trauma—emotional wounds often outlive physical injuries. Intrusive memories, recurring nightmares, hypervigilance, persistent anger, anxiety, and avoidance are signs of unresolved trauma that may persist months or years after the event.

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.
