Life can be really hard when a
death
,
loss
, or traumatic event takes place. It can be especially hard to pick up the pieces and know how to move on from the event and find a "new normal". No matter who you are and no matter the dilemma; I am happy to serve you. My hope is to help you find happiness and purpose in life again. Through therapy, I will help you process the trauma and find a new normal when you are ready. Each individual processes a trauma on their own terms. It is up to you decide the pace of moving forward.

I am a certified Trauma Focused clinician (TF-CBT) and have completed training in
Grief
Counseling and Motivational Interviewing.
How many times in life do you put off doing what you want or need? Sometimes your own fears might get in the way. Other times, you might fear what your friends, family or community will think or say. When it comes to your health, you are what matters. If you are experiencing mood changes, feelings of sadness, isolation, fear or anger and want to find the source of these emotions, schedule an appointment today. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not a weakness. Confidential services are available for children and adults.

I also specialize in
grief
care and counseling.
If you are ready to make changes in your life, there is help. I enjoy working with motivated clients towards healing and wholeness. I believe that therapy is very much a "team" effort, requiring input from client and clinician alike. I also believe that removing the "smoke and mirrors" from therapy is especially helpful and I work to make the process as transparent as possible. Therapy is an incredible, life-changing process and it requires participation. It is likely that you already possess your own answers. Let's find them together.

You are a woman who has been devastated by
grief
over pregnancy
loss
, infertility, or postpartum depression or anxiety. You desperately want to find someone to talk to about how alone and sad you feel. You feel heartbroken, ashamed, and angry lately. Your world has stopped while everyone else seems to be moving on without you. You find yourself having the same fights with your partner over and over again. Society glamorizes pregnancy and motherhood which can make you feel even more alone and misunderstood. If you see one more pregnancy announcement or social media post about the happiness of motherhood, you might lose it!

I am a generalist and an EMDR-trained therapist with extensive experience in trauma and
grief
work.
I work solely with clients who are 25 years old and above. Being engaged in individual counseling is an opportunity to receive support and experience growth during challenging times of life. Counseling allows individuals to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, to address concerns that lead to mental health problems. You will work with me in a safe, caring and confidential environment. The focus of our work could be on specific goals or long-standing concerns such as, family of origin issues or past-unsolved trauma. The ultimate goal is to help you heal, grow, and re-engage in a productive, personally fulfilling life.

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.
