There are times when we ask ourselves questions we feel we have no answers to: "Why am I not happy?", "How do I improve my life?" and "Will I ever find a solution to this problem that is consistent and stressful?". Have hope! The answers are there inside of you, waiting to be discovered. I strive to support my clients without judgement, challenging those who are ready to explore themes of personal responsibility, meaning, and resolution. Through genuine client/therapist interactions, the emotional impact of trauma,
loss
, depression, and/or anxiety can be relieved, and answers found.

As well as treating current Traumatic events, I believe childhood trauma and
loss
are often the precursor for adult psychotherapy.
My approach is empathic, interactive and includes skill building joined with emotional release work. I provide a safe, nurturing environment within which you can explore, identify and release trauma and
loss
. I also help you to develop a plan for healing yourself in the present as we explore your current lifestyle choices and come up with better ways to help you cope with stressors.

Accepting New Clients for immediate telehealth appointments! One of the bravest things you can do is to admit that you want to think and feel differently and reach out for support. You deserve to experience life in a way that brings you joy. You may find that since a traumatic life event you don't feel quite like yourself anymore. Maybe you are feeling more angry. Sleeping more. Perhaps the challenges of the long pandemic have made you feel stressed or frequently tearful. A
loss
of someone you love might have you feeling hopeless. My goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental space for you to explore what's heavy on your mind.

With many challenges in today’s times, it can be difficult to maintain a positive outlook on life. These challenges can be a result from trauma, grieving the
loss
of a loved one, divorce, family conflict or identity issues. Other stressors can be school performance,
loss
of employment, suffering from an illness or injury, impacts from COVID-19, or immigration/deportation concerns which can make going through your day-to-day seem like an impossible task. The good thing is that there is help.

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.
