Waitlist for new clients
The one thing I share at the beginning of meeting my clients is that I do not expect them to respect or trust me right away, because it must be earned. I work very hard to build a therapeutic alliance where that respect and trust can develop. My clients work hard because I challenge (and support) them to think, to process, and to change.

My clients are adults experiencing grief or trauma related to death, relationship loss, illness, pet loss, job change, divorce, life transitions, or identity disruption.
As a grief specialist, researcher, educator, and someone who has personally walked through devastating trauma and loss, I believe grief is something no one should have to experience alone. Beyond my professional training, I offer something deeper and more personal as a griever for a griever, where your first session is always FREE.

In addition to experience treating a number of common concerns – anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, etc - I specialize in helping clients navigate grief.
Starting a new chapter can feel like a daunting task, but I believe there’s power in embracing the unwritten story, especially when you hold the pen. Counseling should be a collaborative process and together we'll find the right modality to fit your needs, whether it's CBT, mindfulness, narrative, etc. The narrative approach, for example, tells us everyone is the expert on their life. You're the main character and with that starring role comes unforeseen plot twists & turns, as well as the opportunity to edit out unhealthy habits, process past chapters, and start new ones.

+ Grief over the death of a loved one or the loss of a relationship or professional situation can be overwhelming.
Well-meaning people try to coach you to “get over” it and move on. But it seems the hurt grows deeper as you struggle to find any sense of hope or meaning. Sometimes you're not even sure that moving in the right direction is possible. But it is. And you can!

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

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.
