I am passionate about helping females (teens and adults) struggling with anxiety, grief , and self-confidence issues.
Do you find yourself worried or anxious throughout the day? Are your thoughts stuck on repeat, keeping you from living the life you want? Do you feel that stress has taken over the life you once enjoyed? My client-centered approach helps women lessen irrational thinking patterns and self-defeating behaviors. I meet each client where they are in their own person journey and support them as they connect with their true self.

I have success helping clients who face challenges in the areas of trauma, grief / loss , relationship issues, depression, anxiety, addiction, spiritual concerns, abuse, eating disorders, and others.
I specialize in brief therapy with a solution-focused approach using my client's strengths to arrive at solutions to their current problem.

I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma and grief .
Life is difficult. There are so many things happening in the world right now. It can be hard to find someone who is free of burdens and turmoil in their own lives to talk to. Then there are those more specific things we may be dealing with that we cannot share with family or friends just yet. Counseling is a safe place to process and heal from most situations you may be facing right now whether it's relationship problems, job stress, time management or something more traumatic like domestic violence or a child who has experienced abuse. This is an opportunity to figure out how to start the healing process.

I am EMDR Trained and focus on trauma. Have you tried to talk to other therapists about unusual experiences connected with your trauma, grief , or unrelated situations? Have they dismissed your experiences because they did not understand what you were talking about? Perhaps you are unsure how to label your experience but know that it was special or even transformative. You are looking for improvement in your trauma symptoms, like anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, or relationship challenges, but you also want to better understand and integrate the experiences you had.

A therapist serves as the element for change, decision-making, conflict resolution, and having the feeling that progress is achievable through therapy. My philosophy is to provide an atmosphere of no judgment, safety, and reassurance to address overwhelming stressors that create pain, loss , shame, fear, and guilt from childhood to adulthood. I can never think or feel your fears and insecurities. I will not put a silver lining on your life challenges by saying “I understand what you are feeling”. I want to share that moment with you and help you navigate those stuck feelings.

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.
