I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over ten years experience specializing in
grief
, chronic and terminal illness, relationship conflicts, depression/anxiety/self worth, and life transitions.
Life challenges can feel isolating, but you can find strength and support in therapy. From a place of connection, empathy, and understanding, we’ll work together to explore what’s holding you back from living a life that feels full and meaningful. As your therapist, I want to help you find the freedom to generate new ways of thinking, feeling & acting: to transform unhelpful personal narratives into strength-based versions you can use to thrive. Together we will join to heal old wounds, discover inner wisdom, and move towards self compassion.

I have worked extensively with sexual abuse, domestic violence, and
grief
and
loss
.
I feel strongly that people have within them the power to heal and grow. This often needs some support and guidance but people have these strengths with in them. Faith can be an important part of healing for some and not for others. I incorporate this into the counseling setting as much or as little as the client desires. Whether healing from trauma,
loss
, or relationship issues, I believe that there are different treatment modalities that can work to heal these issues. There is joy and peace for everyone once these issues have been resolved. I encourage everyone to get back to the freedom in life they were intense to have.

Therapy is a time to appreciate and develop patterns that are healthy and fulfilling, instead of just focusing on what's going wrong. I work towards establishing a trusting relationship where together we can collaboratively create goals that address your needs. We work together to address symptoms in a way that sustains long term change. I integrate tailored treatment to you so that you do not experience a “cookie cutter” approach.

I have over 18 years of experience working in the addiction and mental health field. I am experienced in various roles across the substance use treatment services continuum of care in both micro and macro levels. I am a “big picture” clinician and believe that to effectively manage addiction and mental health it requires the ability to balance the parts needed for that individual to succeed; mind, body, and spirit. Supporting the client in identifying their unique parts to balance based on their individual needs and history is central to my professional philosophy.

Do you find yourself struggling with
loss
or life changes and find it difficult to cope? Are you having symptoms of anxiety, depression, addictive or unhealthy behaviors? When many think of
loss
and
grief
, one may assume they have lost a loved one. At times this is the case, but there are so many kinds of losses we are faced with in our lives;
loss
of self,
loss
of roles in life,
loss
of relationship, chronic illness and many more. Losses can cause us to question our lives and who we are, and can even bring up past hurts or negative ways of coping that are not helping us achieve our best selves.

Are you stuck or have you lost the way in your emotional life due to
grief
or trauma? Are memories from the past preventing you from moving forward? Are worries of the future keeping you from living today? Do you find yourself reacting more strongly to people and situations than you should be? Are you losing hope? I have news for you…time itself won’t get you back on track. It is what you do with the time that will make the biggest difference. If you do not take action now, you will likely continue down an unhealthy or unproductive path.

I work well with couples and relationship issues, parenting, identity struggles, trauma, and
loss
and
grief
.
I don't have an ideal client; people are who they are, with whatever issues they're dealing with. Of course, for any therapy to work, people need to want things to be different, and to be willing to change what they're doing in order to attain that.

Grief Therapists
Grief and Bereavement is the acute pain that accompanies loss. Because it is a reflection of what we love, it can feel all-encompassing. Grief is not limited to the loss of people, but when it follows the loss of a loved one, it may be compounded by feelings of guilt and confusion, especially if the relationship was a difficult one.
