As a registered nurse, I learned to sit with pain, and to listen to what loss and grief tell us about what is most important in our lives.
Life presents us with many challenges--perhaps you grieve a broken relationship, worry about a medical diagnosis, or doubt your abilities. I can help you sift through your experience on your way toward a more joyful, meaningful life. The burdens of stress, frustration, shame, guilt, and anger might make you feel really terrible now-- and you might feel very alone, unable to talk freely with those around you. Together we can pay close attention to what's bothering you and to what you need, so that you begin to develop a healthier self and more loving, fulfilling relationships.

Life can leave us with strain and heartache which can be overwhelming. At times, we normalize the impact these events have on us and rather than seek help, we suffer in silence. It can be terrifying to leave behind the familiar, even if change can lead to happiness and peace. Therapy provides a safe place to take the steps towards lasting change.

Symptoms are a story not yet told. I deeply respect this about people and believe this to be true. This is why there is value in 'the talking cure' with a trained professional therapist. While finding ‘THE’ therapist is an understandable aim, it is an impossible ideal. Finding someone with enough training, clinical and life experience who is curious and seeks to understand you as a dynamic and complex person, might instead be the goal. Just as there is no ‘perfect therapist’, there is also no ‘perfect patient'. Emotional suffering is often caused by factors outside of our awareness, and attempts of self-help can only get us so far.

My approach to psychotherapy is holistic, integrating mind body and spirit, through a variety of modalities. My personal belief system influences my work. Specifically, I believe that as individuals, we continually bring forth new possibilities. People come to therapy with wounds. But it is in the wounds that the light shines in. In therapy, we learn we need not fear the places where one feels stuck, overwhelmed or enslaved. My diverse background has deepened my understanding for those wrestling with existential, spiritual and religious belonging, life transitions, sexual orientation, relational challenges and childhood traumas.

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.
