I work with adults and children. My therapeutic approach is primarily cognitive-behavioral, however, I also employ an eclectic approach to the presenting concerns. Many people in my practice experience anxiety, depression and adjustment disorders, such as relationship difficulties, family struggles and work-related problems. We agree on the goal of treatment and the means to the goal, but most importantly we focus on the therapeutic relationship. This relationship involves professional competency and trust and is the most important part of the therapeutic process.

No one said life was easy, but you didn’t realize it would be this hard. As a young woman, navigating the transition to adulthood is fraught with unique challenges and obstacles. You lay in bed at night, trying to sleep, endlessly ruminating about your future. It feels like every choice you make will have massive effects on the rest of your life. Relationships are strained and unfulfilling. Your career has become tedious and overwhelming. Your living situation is precarious. And the weight of it all is slowly crushing you. You know there must be a better way to live, but it feels impossible. You’re out of ideas and ready to give up.

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen - Brené Brown. My foundation for all clients begins with strengths and wellness. My clients often share that my patience, warmth, and compassion allow them to feel truly seen and heard, sometimes for the first time in their lives. Sometimes, this is because they are the support for others in their life but have no one they can truly lean on. Other times, life circumstances have left them without any strong connections to family or community. Whatever your situation, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable to share your challenges.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. An achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with individuals and couples to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined.

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.
