Unresolved childhood issues, grief, and/or trauma can negatively impact your understanding of self and view of others.
Nothing is more difficult than relationships. And nothing means more to you. All of us are hard-wired to be in relationship, to care for and be cared for by others. But what do you do when differences lead to never-ending battles because you never get close to the real issues? Or when withdrawal leads to resentments that are never addressed at all. I would like to help you remember your strengths that brought you together in the first place, feel relief as you share what is important to you, and appreciate each other's differences, which may really be a strength.

I see a variety of clients experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions and grief.
The world offers many challenges, many responsibilities, sometimes it can feel overwhelming. I think of Life as an ocean, and our emotions, experiences and processes as waves. Sometimes the tide laps our toes, and we can breathe deeply, but other times the waves are so tumultuous it feels like we could be swallowed up. Big waves are much easier to face with support, someone who offers presence, bearing witness to our pain. Sometimes we simply need an extra hand for steadiness to help us get back up. It can feel difficult to ask for help, and to trust another. The journey is yours, and I am honored to support you on that journey.

My areas of focus include grief, loss, and trauma.
I believe we all need help sometimes. Life is a journey, a journey that can be painful to navigate. It is my honor to walk beside you. It makes a difference to have someone that can help hold the burden until you find your own strength. It is my privilege to hold space as you work through trauma, pain, and grief. Transformation is a process, and to have support integrating the pain into the depths of your soul, is a gift of connection. Soul to soul. If you are searching for an advocate and a healer, it is not a coincidence you found me.

relationship challenges, aging issues, self-esteem issues, codependency, transpersonal issues and grief.
Life catches us all off guard sometimes and sends us reeling. There are ways to finding a balance again, some healthy, some not so healthy. Finding someone to listen to you is one of the healthier ways to begin your journey back to that balanced state that we all need to keep going and hopefully find joy in life again. It's that interaction between two people, one telling the story and one listening, where the validation of the storyteller and the story are born. And the healing begins there.

I have been in practice for 32 years. Over time, my work has expanded from exclusive focus on treating adult children of alcoholics, to include- eating disorders, families of bipolar patients, academic underachievement, depression/ anxiety, trauma, and grief. Often these issues are interrelated, and sometimes the singular matter. Women-in-transition groups have also been a mainstay of my practice. Recently, I included hypnotherapy to deepen the experience where appropriate. As the practice continues to grow, I'm reminded daily that it is my life's privilege to work with families and individuals, helping in the growth and healing process.

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.
