Although I have worked with many clients with varying issues, my specialties include issues of loss and bereavement, life-threatening illnesses (such as cancer), and trauma issues. When life is overwhelming, I focus upon giving you the tools that can bring immediate relief. Since much of my focus is grief and loss issues, I have the most experience with clients that are in great distress.
I strive to concentrate on the present, focus on the future, and explore the past, to understand current behaviors and coping. I create a safe place where clients can focus on their goals and acquire more coping tools to adjust to life changes. If you're interested in becoming a better, happier, more fulfilled you, I'd love to work with you every step of the way.

Group sessions are the most sought-after way to complete the program. You will go through an eight-week Grief Recovery Method program guided by your Grief Recovery Specialist. It covers a specific format that will be followed closely and will involve homework and sharing. All eight sessions must be attended.
Bereavement and grief aren't light-hearted topics. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness. The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on his or her background, beliefs, relationship to the person who's passed, and other factors.
According to a study published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress, the prevalence of PTSD is 8.3%, 4.7%, and 3.8% of the population, over a lifetime, the past year, and the past six month period. Add to this those who don't fit the PTSD criteria yet face health challenges after enduring adverse life events and the numbers are huge.
Do you need support, but can't make it to an in-person appointment? Are you a busy stay-at-home or working parent, and don't have the time to drive across town for an appointment? If so, we can help you through virtual therapy, or telehealth. Telehealth allows us to provide counseling and therapy to our clients via live video conferencing.
Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the ability to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. You already have some strengths that you've used before, that for whatever reason aren't working right now. Perhaps this problem feels overwhelming and is making it difficult to access your past strengths.
