I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you make your own positive life decisions. Through sharing ideas in a caring, respectful relationship, you are actively involved in decision-making throughout the therapy process. My role is to provide a supportive and trusting environment.
At any given point in time, we all experience some type of loss, however, some losses may feel more intense than others. No matter what loss you have endured, it is painful and feels as though you will never fully heal, but you can and will learn to heal over time. The process of grief is a tricky one, which is best to endure with support and love surrounding you. I would like to support and guide you through your journey of loss and grief. I will strive to be a safe and comforting place to share your emotions, thoughts, stories and process.
Seeking a therapist can be a little scary. I'd love to speak with you on the phone to answer any questions you may have and to encourage you. My goal is to help you find direction and peace of mind, using your unique traits and talents.

Grief is a normal and natural reaction to a major loss.
Some events in life are so overwhelming that it is almost impossible to see beyond them.
Being able to grasp even a little hope in a tragic event can help you hold on to that bottom rung of the ladder called survival.
Hold on -- until you are able to get your bearings and start again and see life as possibly worth living.
Then slowly begin to move forward knowing that your life will be different and you can still make it meaningful.
