I work with individuals living with trauma, anxiety, depression,
grief
, and isolation.
Many of us learn early on that our belonging in this world depends on our ability to banish aspects of ourselves that cannot be safely held by others. We skillfully fold and shrink ourselves into the shapes that allow us to survive, sometimes with great reward for doing so, but find that our deepest longings go unmentioned and unmet. I am here to hold space for those parts which are too big, too unbearable to be held alone, so that my clients can expand in ways that help them contact their feelings, connect to their desires, and begin to find a home in the world.

We experience many changes and challenges, such as relocation, growing within relationships, or changes in education, career or employment status.
Loss
comes in many forms, and
grief
looks different for each individual. Therapy is a way to navigate these challenges, to grow self-awareness and coping skills, and to find meaning in the unexpected, while exploring the external and internal factors that influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I specialize in working with people who experience anxiety, stress and feelings of
grief
and

due to transitions in their lives.
Are you a working professional feeling stressed or overwhelmed due to changes at your job or home? Are you feeling
grief
or trauma over losing loved ones, employment, or lifestyles and struggling to move forward? Do you feel like you are constantly setting goals you're unable to achieve? Life can be unpredictable and uncontrollable at times leading us to feel stuck and sometimes shifting our perspectives and focusing on the things we can change or learning healthy ways to cope can help us move forward.

Issues such as mortality,
grief
, stress and overwhelm diminish our connection to others and restoration of freedom to live our lives.
I've lived in the PNW for 25 years via Miami and originally, from New York City. I received a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology and worked as a professional photographer. In Seattle, I worked for Microsoft and lead self-actualization seminars before earning a Masters in Existential Psychology from Seattle University, I practice Existential Integrative therapy and also study mindfulness and eastern philosophy. I'm interested in the ways these converge, how people construct meaning and how it relates to their as-lived experience; and how clients use this capacity to generate self-awareness and walk a new pathway forward.

If you or someone close to you has lost a loved one to
death

loss

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.
