Grief and loss are a part of the human condition. Grief is typically considered to be brought on by the death of a loved one, but can also be triggered by any significant life-altering loss (such as a divorce or the loss of a job). Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn’t make it easy to deal with. Symptoms of grief may include sadness, loneliness, anger, denial, depression and a myriad of other thoughts and feelings. There is no “normal” amount of time for grief to pass, but if you find that your grief is not improving over time or that it is interfering with your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking professional help. A qualified grief counselor can help you to cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s grief experts today.

AAre you experiencing anxiety, depression, or PTSD and you aren't quite sure how to improve things? Do you tend to emotionally eat to deal with life challenges and that impacts your mental health? Are you wanting a more holistic approach rather than just focusing on medication or talk therapy? I assist clients in identifying behavior changes ranging from improving nutrition to reduce symptoms to learning how to manage trauma triggers.

The stories we tell ourselves are just as important as the stories we tell those around us. We all deserve the healing that comes with being able to express who we are in a way that feels true. There is a lot going on in the world, and I want therapy to be a supportive and safe place to explore the different parts of yourself and help navigate the experiences you are having. Together we are working towards building resiliency and hope.

I see life as a mosaic of experiences, and we all do the best we can with what we know at the time. But sometimes, anxiety, depression or the simple challenges of daily life can hold people back from living the fullest, best story of their life. My goal as a therapist is to explore and bring to light a person’s inner strengths, so they can overcome their personal obstacles and enjoy better, more productive lives and relationships.
