This may be due to trauma, grief, depression, communication difficulties, anxiety or any number of other difficulties.
I support you in understanding where your troubles stem from, how they are maintained and use this as a foundation for change. I do this by collaboratively leveraging the cognitive model to identify unhelpful thoughts and then examining them with compassion and acceptance, while also teaching skills to help in doing so and to bring balance.

Over the years, I’ve worked in diverse settings—including family shelters, hospice bereavement, hospital oncology, schools, community mental health clinics, and with First Responders following natural disasters and traumatic events.
In our work together, we will identify barriers, clarify your values, and build a pathway toward a more vital and meaningful life. I see therapy as a space for healing, support, and unconditional acceptance—but also a space where laughter, creativity, and joy have an important place. Together, we won’t overlook moments of hope and lightness along the way.

I am honored to come alongside others as they work towards being the best version of themselves. My approach is balanced with candidness, humor, compassion, and an easy manner.

I have over 25 years of experience working with children, youth and families in both community mental health and school settings and a wealth of experience working with symptoms of anxiety and depression, grief and loss concerns, challenging behaviors, parent / child relational problems, and supporting individuals with neurodiversity and autism.
Life can be stressful and overwhelming... and unfortunately there isn't an easy fix to a lot of life's challenges. Kids don't come with instructions and we can get hi-jacked by stress and our emotions. Before we know it, we are stuck. You are not alone in that and there are options to help you manage the struggle and get back to who you want to be. I use mainly a cognitive behavioral approach along with mindfulness and solution-focused approaches with the intention to build skills to manage and cope with stressors as you identify what works and increase your confidence in maintaining healthy habits.

Maybe you have lived through experiences that continue to live in your body or thoughts, or you’re carrying a sense of loss that’s hard to put into words?

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.
