Losing someone—or something—important to you can shake the foundation of your world. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a miscarriage, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a sense of identity or future, grief touches every part of your life. It’s not something you “get over,” but something you gradually learn to live with.
Grief is personal. It doesn’t follow a script, and there is no right way to feel. You might experience sadness, anger, guilt, numbness—or all of these at once. You might feel lost in daily life or overwhelmed by the quiet moments. Therapy can provide a space to begin processing your experience and moving toward healing at your own pace.
There Is No Timeline for Grief
You may be:
- Struggling to cope after a recent loss
- Feeling stuck in grief long after others expect you to have “moved on”
- Facing complex emotions after a sudden or traumatic loss
- Dealing with mixed feelings after the loss of someone with whom you had a complicated relationship
- Grieving changes in identity, health, work, or family dynamics
Whatever your experience, you deserve space to grieve in your own way—and in your own time.
A Safe Space to Be With What Hurts
In our sessions, I offer:
- A warm, non-judgmental space where all feelings are welcome
- Support in naming and making sense of complex emotions
- Tools to help you manage day-to-day while navigating your grief
- Gentle exploration of how to hold on to meaning and connection
- The chance to find new ways of being with your loss—without forgetting or minimizing it
I won’t rush you, try to fix you, or expect you to “move on.” My approach is compassionate, grounded, and focused on helping you feel supported as you find your way forward.
