I view clients as the experts in their own lives, and my goal is to create a warm, empathetic, and supportive partnership. I support people experiencing trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. As someone raised in Uganda, South Sudan, and Kenya, moving to the United States as a young adult, I am interested in supporting people processing cross-cultural transition and bicultural identity, as well as intergenerational, communal trauma and survivor’s guilt. As a queer therapist, I enjoy supporting LGBTQ+ clients as well.

You have good days and bad days. At times, the sadness and stress are overwhelming. Maybe someone important to you has died or you're struggling with a significant relationship or a life transition. Maybe others cannot relate to your loss & you're feeling very alone. You've landed here because you need to talk to someone about it. I specialize in grief and loss. Grief is a natural response to death & loss but this feels like a wilderness you have not explored before and you need some guidance. Are you interested in feeling less overwhelmed & more settled? You don't have to do this on your own.

I enjoy supporting my clients in their journey through life’s challenges, such as grief and transition.
My work as a clinician is grounded in establishing a safe, supportive, and nurturing co-created environment. We all struggle at times and sometimes having help is necessary to find calm, balance, or growth. Each client brings their own unique strengths and challenges. Together we develop a plan to help you move toward your goals. My counseling is informed by my work with students with special needs, families in transition, my training in yoga and mindfulness, and my work with men and women who experienced domestic violence. I use a trauma informed, person-centered approach in which clients feel safe, heard, and valued.

Scrolling through profiles to find a therapist can be such a process - I empathize with you! I imagine you're dealing with a great deal of stress right now and need some hope that things can change. As social beings, we often feel expected to appear highly functional when we are carrying around so much fear and heartache, be it related to trauma, relationships, perfectionism, change, loss or something as seemingly simple as eating. I also understand the added pressure of having marginalized identities, and the worry that you won't feel safe or seen by a healthcare professional.

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.
