This can be extremely painful and debilitating but is a common response to trauma and loss.
What if I told you that you wouldn’t have to avoid people, places or activities? Seems impossible, right? Wrong! Nothing is impossible. While working in a safe setting, you can learn grounding skills to utilize when experiencing intrusive thoughts, identify self-worth, and learn to process ways to focus on what is in your control.

For years I’ve had the profound privilege of walking alongside adults and senior citizens who are carrying some of life’s heaviest things — complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicidality, grief, domestic violence recovery, post-divorce rebuilding, self-harm, low self-esteem, somatoform disorders, and the kind of stress that makes everything feel impossible.
My practice is 100% virtual (therapy throughout Pennsylvania, coaching worldwide), because healing should never depend on where you live or how much energy you have to leave the house. Every session happens in the safest space you already have — your own home.

I’m a PsyPact-licensed psychologist, which means I can work with folks in North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and 39 other states. My path to this work is personal. Growing up, I often felt like I didn’t quite fit in — like my feelings were too big, and I didn’t know what to do with them. I know how lonely it can feel to think something might be wrong with you. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others find clarity, connection, and a little more kindness toward themselves.

I believe that every human being has the ability to be the best person they can be. Everyone struggles at different times in life, some unfortunately, more than others complicated by circumstances, situations and relationships. I work with the understanding that we get stuck around negative emotions that we tend to avoid, as they are uncomfortable, unwanted and painful. I help people explore what their underlying core emotional issues are and help them clarify how they are avoiding them, inviting them to face these uncomfortable emotional experiences and move toward them, stretching their comfort zone.

Grief therapy for women navigating loss, infertility, and caregiving stress.
I support mothers on the path less traveled, especially those raising or caring for children with special needs. This journey often holds a quiet mix of deep love, exhaustion, and grief that goes unseen. I offer a supportive, mind-body–informed space to process these experiences, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with hope.

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.
