My clinical interests include grief/loss, trauma (incl sexual violence and IPV), family of origin and relationship concerns, and the impact of violence (incl marginalization, oppression, and discrimination).
You matter! This tenet is central to the work. For 20 years, this is what I have been passionate about helping folx to realize, intellectually and actually in their day-to-day lives. Life is a series of events (great and small), associated emotions, and responses. These make up our diverse lived experiences. But how do we make sense of them? For some, how do we recover from them to go on to live the lives we desire? In the past, I have also worked with families and groups. These days, I find beauty in continuing to work with individuals to co-create a safe-enough space for clients to explore vulnerability and find their voices.

I specialize in working with family and career caregivers, those coping with serious illness, and those experiencing loss and life transitions and making hard decisions.
Are you feeling squeezed in the caregiver sandwich? Feeling stuck between the responsibilities of work and family can be even more overwhelming when all of your tasks seem focused on caregiving. Does everyone want something, and they want it from you - right now? Of course you feel anxious and stressed. You might care for children, parents, your partner, or patients, and maybe a combination of those. That's the caregiver sandwich for sure, and it often feels pressured, lonely, and downright frustrating. Maybe you've started to feel like you're not even "you" anymore - just someone who exists to give everything they have to others.

Together, we’ll work to process the monumental loss you’ve experienced.
How are you supposed to go on? It feels like your entire life has been turned on its head. Everything is different now. Your spouse is gone, and you don’t know how to move forward. All the things that used to seem so important to you have lost their meaning. The work assignments you once obsessed over are being ignored. The social schedule you spent such care curating now feels worthless. Hobbies are meaningless. Self-care is pointless. Friends and family offer their support, but it all feels hollow. No one understands what you’re going through. All you want to do is stay at home in bed and hide from the world forever.

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.
