Are you overwhelmed with worry, sadness, or intrusive thoughts? Are you feeling stuck in life? Do you find yourself pushing away your emotions because they are uncomfortable? It can be challenging to deal with everything life throws at you. Sometimes we can carry the weight of past experiences for years, not knowing how to overcome the build-up of negative experiences and thoughts. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to feel in control of your thoughts and emotions rather than being held at their mercy? It can be a challenging road, but it is well worth the effort.

As a therapist, my goal is to help families, couples, and individuals improve their personal relationships. This is achieved through gaining an understanding of others' emotions and why they react the way they do to various situations. Then, being willing to make the changes needed to be able to connect and trust their partner or family member. When the storms arrive, each will then know how to comfort themselves, and others; this happens synergistically. Synergism means that each person complements the other and enhances their performance; together, you are energized through the art of working in harmony. Come give it a try!

These therapies help clients process difficult events such as trauma, abuse, divorce, or loss.
I help those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, overwhelm or are feeling like their life is out-of-control. I specialize in trauma, which is any distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms your ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes your sense of self and/or your ability to feel the full range of emotions and experiences. I frequently work with first responders and others who have high stress jobs and who experience trauma in their everyday life.

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.
