Grief Therapists in 08753

I work with folks who are looking for support navigating grief/loss, difficult life circumstances, and various kinds of trauma. If you find yourself disconnected from your feelings, in a constant state of auto-pilot, or constantly feel like you are rushing, I can help. If you want to stop living on autopilot and start living in the moment, you are in the right place. Together, we will explore the patterns that haven't been working for you and create ones that do.

The journey through life's many transitions - successes and challenges, partnered and single, chronic illness and loss - and the feelings of anxiety, depression, fear that they evoke in us can cause us at times to feel alone and powerless. I would be honored to accompany you on your healing journey - whether your goal is to bring you closer to what you want personally or professionally, closer to those you love, or back to yourself - and I will work with you, at your pace, in a safe, nurturing environment. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". - Lao Tzu

Often times, the hardest part of therapy can be making that first appointment and showing up. I commend you for taking the first step and seeking a therapist that feels like a good fit for you. Life can bring so many unexpected and painful challenges that can cause us to feel anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and sometimes even numb. When it feels like it is all too much, therapy can help. Whether it be social stressors, grief and loss, major life transitions, work-life balance, anxiety, relationship issues, or something else, my goal is to provide you with a safe and comfortable space to share and work it through.

Life is a beautiful journey that can be unpredictable, stressful, and overwhelming at times. Sometimes these stressors are difficult to cope with on our own. My work is dedicated to helping individuals cope with life challenges, live healthy, happy, productive lives, and find healing for optimum mental health and wellness. Embarking on a healing journey is exciting, but I also know this can be an anxiety provoking decision. You are not alone in this journey! The therapeutic relationship is an integral part of the healing process. Everyone deserves a safe, confidential space that leads to healing change.

Even when we have tremendous anxiety and pain, the strength and resilience we desire already reside within us. During times of stress, grief or uncertainty, it is common to forget this and to adopt maladaptive styles of coping and communicating that tend to deepen our distress. Sometimes we fall back into negative thinking based on faulty core beliefs about ourselves and the world. I will hold space for you with empathy and non-judgment. You will be seen, you will be heard, and you will be supported in your growth.
