MS, CCLS
A chronic illness, life-altering injury, or significant
loss
can challenge the development and psychosocial well-being of a child and cause lasting trauma if not appropriately and intentionally addressed. With my support and guidance, children and families practice coping techniques to navigate their "new normal," engage in legacy-building and memory-making activities to facilitate healthy
grief
responses, learn about their diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment through medical play and education, and feel empowered to advocate for themselves in stressful medical situations.

I have a deep knowing and appreciation for working with
grief
and
loss
, end of life, chronic/ terminal illness and other significant life transitions.
We can't always control what life brings our way, but we can choose how we respond to it. I enjoy helping people reconnect with their natural wisdom in the midst of life's challenges. My goal is to help my clients gain awareness of what is already working in their lives and what patterns and habits have become outdated or self-defeating. A situation, problem or symptom that appears unworkable or overwhelming can offer the key to its own healing when held with gentle, inquisitive attention.

I offer support to adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders, and especially enjoy supporting clients navigating life transitions,
grief
and
loss
.
We all have the capacity for growth and change, and the pain we carry usually develops from unhelpful stories that we've learned to tell ourselves over time. These stories - which we often learn through the systems we operate within - can impact the way we move, respond and connect, and can sometimes keep us stuck. I think we can grow by understanding how our stories started, by noticing the powerful information that our bodies give us about our emotional pain, and by working to unravel and re-craft our stories in a way that leaves us feeling more empowered, flexible, and whole.

My primary areas of clinical interest are adults who are experiencing difficulties with life transitions, anxiety, relationship and family issues, depression, and
grief
.
We all have obstacles in our lives. It is normal to feel stress or concern when we are facing uncertainty. I recognize how challenging it may be to ask for help outside of ourselves and I appreciate all those who reach out for support - whether it be in gaining a stronger sense of identity, a better understanding of themselves, or in collaboratively working through various reasons for seeking mental health services. I believe that every individual holds value and that their experiences and feelings in life are both significant and valid. Everyone deserves an open space to unpack their mind and move through their challenges.

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.
