My specialities are anxiety, stress and grief.
If you are reading this, I am assuming that you want something in your life to change. Perhaps your stomach is in knots because of relationship issues, or stress at work. You might be worried about your children, even if they are adults. Someone very significant to you, might be missing from your life. Maybe you feel lonely, useless, unappreciated, anxious, unloved, or uneasy for a multitude of reasons. Perhaps its your health, or the economy and political divisiveness that is causing anxiety. You are searching for someone to help you, someone you can trust, to nudge you and and maybe significant others, in the "right direction".

My clients are typically people who are struggling with marital or dating relationships; divorce and recovery from it; grief, loss, anxiety, or depression.
I enjoy working with couples because the benefits are quickly achieved and far-reaching. A couple who is motivated for positive change can achieve very positive results in just a few sessions. Then, we have a few follow-up sessions to confirm that their work is holding. When a couple improves their relationship, everyone in their family benefits.

If you are seeking counseling for grief and loss, we may use the art process as a way to honor and remember your loved one.
Are you tired from living in a world that doesn't make room for you to be your authentic self? Have experiences of oppression, rejection, or shame left you feeling misunderstood, isolated, or hopeless? It is a radical act of rebellion to accept yourself in a world that wants you to suppress yourself. Through engaging in authentic relationship in our sessions, we can begin to break down the barriers to understanding and trusting ourselves. I’m here to support you with mental healthcare that addresses both individual symptoms AND acknowledge the broader systems (sexism, ableism, homophobia, etc.) that often affect these symptoms.

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.
