Parking is available on the street or nearby public lot - Please do not park in the lot directly behind the building as you may get towed - Thank You!

I’m available in-person and by telehealth.

My preference is to meet with my clients in person. Grief and trauma are very personal life experiences and are best supported when we are sharing space together.

For those that prefer telehealth, I do ask that you come into my office for the first 4 sessions. This is not required but strongly recommended.

Yes, I do make home visits under certain circumstances for either grief counseling or geriatric consultative services.

There is a saying that holds true…with all trauma comes a feeling of grief, but not all grief is born out of trauma.

My focus is on grief, but not exclusively. The 2 cannot be separated completely. If you have suffered a traumatic loss, you are especially welcome here.

I have a special place in my heart for teenage girls and the specialized care they need and deserve, but at this time I do not offer treatment for this age group.

Please check back in the future as this may change.

While my right fit clients are most often women, I do also work with men and give special care to making sure they are not be better suited to working with a male therapist.

No 2 people are ever the same. If you are a grieving husband, father or son and wanting to reach out to me, I welcome you to do so.

There is no single way to know how long you need to be in Therapy. Many clients begin to feel positive impacts of being well supported by the therapeutic process within the first month.

Ultimately it is important to understand that when dealing with Grief or Burnout it takes as long as it takes for each individual or couple.

We will work together to create a Treatment Plan and decide what is best for you.

It is normal to feel anxious for your first session. You can anticipate being warmly welcomed and assured that you belong here. Your experience will be guided by compassion and expertise.

We will spend some time reviewing any practice policies and questions you may have. Then we will get to work clarifying what matters most to you, what your specific support needs are and simply getting acquainted.

FOR GRIEF COUNSELING

I provide a full 60-minute session each time we meet. When deemed clinically appropriate and beneficial, 30-minute and 90-minute sessions can be accommodated. Most clients begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions and then decrease frequency when they are ready.

A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) in Therapy is a written document that outlines the expected costs of your Mental Health Care before you actually start treatment. It is designed to prevent surprise billing giving you a clear picture of what you will be paying so you can make an informed financial decision. The requirement comes from a Federal Law called the No Surprises Act which took effect in 2022.
