Coping with loss , including non- death losses.
You want to break generational cycles and set a new path for yourself. Your loved one is lost in addiction or suffering acute mental illness and you need a little support. You've experienced a loss and want to make sense of life without this person. You want to do your best in life but need to learn to do it without experiencing total burnout. You want to live the values you claim and be a little more consistent and authentic in how you live. We can work together to help you connect the dots in your life to show where your responses come from, and how to adapt them to live life how you really want to.

I have experience in crisis intervention, anxiety and depression management, challenges related to spirituality/faith struggles, behavior management, trauma, and grief and loss .
I have a passion for helping people learn to navigate through life's challenges. My main goal in counseling is to provide a non-judgmental, safe space for people to speak freely and learn more about themselves. I don’t believe there is "one size fits all" approach to therapy and I pull from various theories and therapeutic interventions to create change and growth in each client.

Mistrust, loss of intimacy and poor communication are common problems that can spell disaster for your relationship. You end up feeling sad, hopeless, confused and defeated. Mistrust often develops if you have doubts about your partner's intentions; then suspicion. Loss of intimacy can be a common relationship problem and has many contributing factors. Lack of emotional connection often translates into a lack of sexual intimacy. It may make you feel disconnected from your partner. In addition, communication difficulties contribute to relationship issues. Couples often start taking each other for granted; not prioritizing each other.

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.
