I support adults & seniors navigating cancer, illness, grief, caregiving, life transitions, aging, and end of life concerns.
In the face of life-altering medical illness, our most fundamental assumptions about health, security, and control are challenged in an instant. Ideas about what the future holds are suddenly called into question, as you are forced into a reprioritization of everything. Life—once familiar and routine becomes unrecognizable through the lens of uncertainty. Isolation moves in as you may come to realize that friends and family cannot begin to understand what you are experiencing.

I focus on healing relationships, helping to climb out of grief and losses, and working toward success in life transitions.
The teens and adults I often work with are folks who, in their pursuit to “have it all,” are feeling stuck, lonely, and at times may feel overwhelmed by a harsh inner critic. Often times, my clients are introspective, deep thinkers and deep feelers, who want to do what's best for them and their loved ones, but struggle to find the right balance between the two for themselves.

If grief is an issue, I can provide a gentle, caring environment where you can integrate the often confusing and overwhelming feelings that accompany loss.
Entering therapy can be both daunting and exciting. It usually means something in your life isn’t working quite right, and it also means you are ready to make a change. My goal is to help you discover your own strengths and resources in order to live a life of greater purpose, connection, and joy. We all have a natural tendency to move toward healing and growth, but sometimes painful emotions, negative thoughts, or stressful life events interfere with this natural process. Working together, we can process and release painful emotions and experiences that have kept you stuck.

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.
