Grief

“Each person’s grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed” ~ David Kessler

To honor the individuality and personal needs of grief, I work one-on-one with clients to discover the most effective strategies to assist them in reconciling the loss in their lives with their new reality. I understand that one never “gets over” a death loss but, rather, it is a new understanding and relationship with the world that must be met and integrated. Regardless of the type or cause of death, my approach to therapy is always client-centered to ensure you feel empowered to guide sessions based on your needs and to bear witness to your journey.

I offer both individual and group grief therapy, as I understand the healing power of community and connection with others during this time, as well as sometimes needing or preferring individual support until feeling comfortable in a group setting.

Symptoms of Grief

Chronic headaches, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, difficulty concentrating/forgetfulness, feelings of anger, sadness, guilt, or persistent worries, as well as social withdrawal or feeling detached from activities or relationships you used to enjoy.

Anxiety & Depression

Do you feel like you’re in a constant state of worry? Unable to control or manage nervousness, ruminative thoughts, and feelings of anticipation? This is something commonly experienced by those who struggle with anxiety, which can oftentimes impact or compound depressive moods and thinking. I have worked with many clients in learning to understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behavior are interconnected and empowering them to feel in control. Through the evidence-based interventions and practices I use, we can discover together what is the underlying cause to your worries, learn how to reframe and look at these thoughts in new, more helpful ways, and develop coping and problem-solving skills.

Symptoms of Anxiety/Depression

Nervousness, restlessness, hypersomnia or insomnia, trembling, increased heart rate or breathing, crying, irritability, social isolation, fatigue, increase or decrease in appetite, and preoccupation with certain thoughts or events. If these symptoms sound like what you’ve been experiencing, please reach out to me.

Survivors of Abuse

Did you experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse as a child or adult? Are you a survivor of assault or childhood neglect? Perhaps you find yourself feeling reactive and angry at situations or people around you, feeling dysregulated and unsure how to manage these thoughts and feelings. These experiences often result in trauma, which can have negative impacts on developmental growth, social-emotional awareness and skills, and interpersonal effectiveness in relationships. While you may identify with some of these challenges, they can be overcome and lead to posttraumatic growth in which an individual identifies areas of progress and change they experienced along their healing journey. In our work together, we can identify and challenge negative thought patterns, core beliefs about yourself and the world, and learn new skills to decrease symptoms of trauma and increase connection with those around you. 

Symptoms of Trauma and Abuse

Sleep disturbances, avoiding people/places that remind you of the event(s), physical distress related to memories/location/people, intrusive memories. If these symptoms sound like what you’ve been experiencing, please reach out to me.

Life Transitions that we can work through together

Job changes, going to college, moving, divorce/end of relationship, social and/or political changes, chronic health diagnosis, marriage, birth, and retirement. If you are seeking support for a transition in your life, please reach out to me.
