The challenges you're currently experiencing do not define who you are as an individual. Life is challenging on our best days and sometimes these challenging days turn into weeks, maybe months, if not longer. If there are challenges that are keeping you from moving forward in life or enjoying anything in general, I would like to meet with you. Together we will work on the challenge(s) that are preventing you from experiencing more enjoyment in life.

Hello! Prior to becoming a therapist, I served in the Army National Guard and worked in inpatient healthcare settings supporting individuals facing complex medical conditions, serious mental illness, and end-of-life concerns. These experiences, combined with my education and personal journey, deepened my understanding of human suffering, resilience, and the profound capacity for healing and transformation. Whether you're working through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or a desire for personal growth, I am committed to helping you move beyond survival mode and toward a more authentic, fulfilling 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.
