Grief Therapists in 19118

I am a psychotherapist with many years experience working with children, families, teens, adults and couples. Most of my sessions are virtual, though I see children/parents in- person. Most people find me easy to talk to, nonjudgemental and down to earth. I specialize in guiding individuals and families through the transformative and often unacknowledged pain of grief and loss. I also enjoy working with children in family/child play therapy. Children have a natural drive toward health and parents toward empowerment. You will leave our first session feeling understood, more hopeful and with a new perspective.

I bring over a decade of experience to my practice, where I work with a wide range of struggles. I bring special expertise to self-image/self-esteem issues, trauma, and grief. As a holistic practitioner, I don’t limit my focus to treating symptoms or replacing behaviors. I work with body, spirit, heart, and gut, offering a space where you can step into a transformed relationship with yourself. I go underneath strategies and tools to help you develop inner resources, listen to your body and nervous system, let go of what no longer serves you, and bring new energy and clarity to your most important connections.

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.

Feeling stuck in life? Maybe it's time to get some help. Do you find yourself getting sad or angry at confusing moments in your life? Do others find you to be "primarily angry," "often sad," or in some other way dominated by one particular feeling? Expressing and/or making sense of negative emotions is sometimes challenging. I help people examine, understand, and process their feelings so that they can be more productive and self-secure. I am also particularly skilled in helping people with life and career transition problems.

There are many aspects of our lives that define our emotional connectedness to others and our own happiness. When we experience anxiety, depression, anger, and/or grief, we suffer. Our suffering touches all parts of our life, both personal and professional. Sometimes, things just aren’t right. When you feel unhealthy, due to a difficult relationship or your behaviors are hurtful to yourself or others, life can be difficult.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides therapy with respect, acceptance, and compassion in a setting that is safe and supportive. My goal is to make therapy a trusting, collaborative effort, helping people to create the change they seek in their lives. My particular areas of research, expertise and interest include: relationships and communication; grief and loss; the impact of chronic illness; struggles related to gender and sexuality; coping with transitions in life; and job related stressors particularly for healthcare providers.

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.

I often view my work as supporting bodies in transition - in whatever form that comes. Many of my clients are those with medical illness or injury, caregivers, mothers, or trauma survivors who are faced with the impact that change in their physical self has on their mental and emotional well-being. Clients often wish to explore the mind-body connection, integrate non-verbal approaches, or find a new perspective on therapy. I also work with infants and children who deserve the same compassionate care, but don't benefit from verbal therapy in the same way.

Therapy is a space to talk about your deepest hurts and fears. To do that, you need to feel like you can trust the person you’re talking to. I have years of experience sitting with people grieving losses and going through big transitions. I am not afraid of grief, or anger. I also work with people who struggle with intimacy and vulnerability. Sometimes our troubles come from inside and sometimes they are a result of the things that happen to us. Together, we will spend time with both, giving voice and care to parts of the self that have been overlooked or overwhelmed.

Sometimes painful experiences that have not been processed impact adjustment in our present lives. Sometimes recent loss or trauma may impact an individual or family. As a clinical psychologist who has worked in community mental health and privately, I am comfortable with a wide range of clients. I am effective working in a playful way with young children, and understand that often they may need less direct and more developmentally accessible ways to tackle the challenges that bring them in. I enjoy work with adults using more exploratory approaches and work with parents helping them develop skill and confidence in this role

Are you a parent of a struggling TEEN who needs support or a young adult who feels stuck and unsure of your path? I can help! I never forgot what it is like to be a teen, and I am a mother to 3 of my own. I also know grief, anxiety, and depression. I understand what is like to be out of the box and find a place in the world. I am unique, as are my techniques. I believe laughter should find its place even in the darkest places and weave humor wherever it may fit. I am also well versed in all methods, such as CBT, DBT, ACT, etc., but the connection between therapist and client is essential for growth.

I utilize a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to create a safe and supportive environment in which people can use both mind and body as an integrated vehicle to navigate self-exploration, healing, and optimum health. I value the process of self-growth as it allows us the opportunity to live fully and access greater joy in our lives.
