Grief isn’t just about death—it’s any loss that shakes your world.
Therapy with me is like hiking a mountain trail with a guide who knows when to walk beside you, when to let you find your footing, and when to challenge you to climb higher. I’ll offer a steady hand when the path feels uncertain, a listening ear when you need to pause and process, and a gentle but firm nudge when it’s time to push past obstacles.

Whatever "it" is for you, please know that grief is not linear, and everyone does not grieve the same way.
It's OK to not be OK. Life can be challenging, and we all could use support from time to time to navigate those challenges. This is especially true when it comes to, not only, grief but also depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, ADHD, postpartum depression & anxiety, aging, and life transitions.

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.
