If you are seeking help at this time in your life, you are already on the road to emotional health. It is the most positive first step you can take toward changing a difficult situation. Therapy is a process of sharing one’s thoughts, fears and feelings within a trusting and supportive relationship.
My training & experience ranges from psychotherapy & assessment of adults, couples, & teens to counseling persons with AIDS & survivors of trauma with acute PTSD. Whether you seek to overcome a specific trauma or to break a chronic life pattern, to work toward achieving your purpose, I will meet you where you are at. As you know, grief can be coping with the shock but it is also a kind of one-sided relationship work. I can help you with that.
I am a psychoanalyst in full time independent practice, and a doctoral-level, New York State licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of clinical experience working with patients in a variety of settings. I am a graduate of the NYU Psychoanalytic Institute training in Adult Psychoanalysis.

Who wants to feel better?
You, or else you wouldn't be looking at psychotherapists websites. But wait, there's more...maybe you're not sure you can feel better. Maybe you've never been to a psychotherapist before & this is all new to you or was something that "other people" did.
My empathic capacities will enable you to feel safe enough to explore the problems which have hindered your life and relationships. I use psychodynamic methods to establish a caring professional relationship that will allow us to understand your pain and work through your difficulties.
Grief is a normal response to the loss of a relationship or the death of a loved one. Some people need help managing overwhelming sadness, anxiety, anger, and the loneliness that occurs during the grieving process. I can help you to understand and work through what your are feeling to promote a healing process.

Grief is not easily spoken about in American culture. Our society does not hold much space for exploration of individual or collective grief. Dance and all the arts provide meaningful ways for coping with loss and transitions. The arts help us express the wide range of emotions associated with loss, Corinna incorporates them all in her work. She has been compassionately leading grief and loss groups for over 20 years to help individuals understand their grief process and move towards acceptance.
Grief counseling provides clients with a safe place to fully experience the wide range of emotions that surround grief. Your therapist will help you to understand some of the unexpected and confusing aspects of the grieving process. Psychotherapy for loss will also assist you in finding renewed purpose and meaning in life while maintaining a connection to your loved one. If interested, EMDR therapy - a scientifically approach known for its quick and lasting results - can be used to assist in rapidly and adaptively processing and working through your loss.
Grief and loss are almost impossible to write about. You've lost someone or something. Perhaps a loved one, a relationship, a status in your chosen field, a lifestyle you once enjoyed. Most of the time the grief I see in patients who come to my office have lost someone who used to play a large part of their life. A family member. a close friend, someone you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with.
There's no timeline for grief. There are no set "stages" to have to pass through and check off the list. It takes as long as it takes to get through it. I once worked with someone who lost a dear friend to suicide. It was unthinkable, and the pain seemed too much to bear. After a certain point she felt she "should be over it." In fact some people even said that to her. No. You don't "just get over it." You grieve. There's a hole in your life that seems unfillable, and sometimes it is. But that doesn't mean you have to forget about it, or don't get to move on with the other parts of your life.
If it was a relationship, and the issue was someone bailed on you, ghosted you, cheated on you, wants to divorce you, that, too, needs a period of time to grieve the loss. In some cases reconciliation is possible, others not. Together we work on what's realistic, how to accept your loss, and to understand you are allowed to grieve as long as you need to.
I am trained in Advanced Grief Counseling and Therapy. Grief and Loss are ongoing processes that are unique to each individual. It is often the case that others start to "rush" the process at a certain time with unhelpful statements like, "It's time to get over it."
You can't and won't just get over it, but you can heal and learn to get on with living the rest of your life.
