Owning your story can be difficult when life feels outside of your control.

For a short stretch of your journey, we will walk together to help process, problem solve, and make a plan to deal with the difficult, confusing, and the overwhelming parts of your story.

The road we travel is not without bumps along the way. These bumps can be the
loss
of a job,
loss
of independence, end of relationship or
death
of a loved one. This may cause many overwhelming feelings of denial, anger or sadness. These are all normal feelings when dealing with life, however if you find yourself having difficulty overcoming these feelings it might be helpful to seek help.

Loss
affects each of us in unique ways. Each of us encounters
loss
on a regular basis. How we each experience each
loss
is unique and viewed through our individualized lens based on our life experiences. I meet people where they are in their
grief
journey and provide a safe space to tell their story and be heard.
Grief
has no timeframe. Whether the
loss
was recent or long ago where there is pain there can be healing. My goal is to help people find meaningful ways to process the losses they have experienced. I also aim to help caregivers both lay and professional find ways to nurture themselves and find hope and renewal.

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.
