For 45 years, I have specialized in treating undiagnosed or untreated trauma, loss, grief, chronic illness, addictions and gender and or sexual fluidity. Most clients are externally 'highly functioning' in their day to day life. Their pain is hidden and invisible. I work to gently but directly guide us to discover self created barriers often outside our everyday awareness, to facilitate the process of identifying, acknowledging, grieving and letting go (over and over again!) of those things that interfere with creating a healthier, more contented and meaningful life.

If being a parent, or the journey to becoming one, is not quite what you expected, it may be helpful to have someone who can help you process the loss of what you had envisioned.
Parenthood can be full of wonders and woes. Along the way you could experience infertility, loss, or birth trauma. Sometimes you bypass (or go through) those experiences only to find yourself right smack dab in the middle of postpartum anxiety or depression. I became a therapist to support parents, so they know someone is always in their corner.

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.
