Grief is a personal experience and each individual experiences loss and transition(s) in their own unique way. Grief does not have a timeline. Grief can be experienced early on as well as resurface in waves year(s) later when the mourner is reminded of memorable events in life such as birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations, shared activities, and so on. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to grieve and it isn't a realistic expectation for someone to 'get over' or 'move on' with their loss. The more meaningful the bond and relationship, the greater likelihood that the mourner will feel a permanent change to self and life. This also includes layered grief experiences involving strained and estranged relationships.
I'm here to listen, comfort, support, and help you find meaning in life. This doesn't mean the absence of pain or distress but rather individual/spiritual growth from having loved someone or something so deeply.

Grief can be Complicated, Delayed, Chronic, Minimized or Misunderstood (Disenfranchised), Piled Up (Several losses over a period of time) , Resurfaced when a current loss is a reminder of a past loss.

Benefits of Therapy

Develop calming strategies and stress management techniquesLearn coping skills for stressful situations.
Increase confidence and self esteem.

Therapeutic Approaches Include:

I enjoy using a variety of techniques such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Grief Therapy, Solution Focused Strategies, Mindfulness Meditation, Trauma Informed, Compassion Focused, & Emotion Focused.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that uses a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. Its goal is to change self defeating thinking patterns or behavior.

Psychotherapy - Psychotherapy is a way to overcome problematic thoughts or behaviors and addresses personal difficulties.

As a psychotherapist I am dedicated to improving the health and well being of my clients and it is my goal to make the therapeutic process as comfortable as possible. I work from a positive psychology perspective geared towards increasing confidence, self-esteem and helping you recognize your individual strengths. Whether you are interested in Short Term, Long Term, or a One time therapy session; I can assist with feelings of depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, stress management, grief and environmental stress associated with work, home life, and school. Everybody has a story and sometimes we need a little help to work through the hurdles in life from time to time.
