Grief DoEsn’t Need Fixing.
it needs tending.
give yourself a place to feel seen and supported in your grief.
it makes sense that nothing makes sense.
Grief is a normal response to loss, and yet it comes with no guidebook. Amidst all of the shock and heartache, grief can take everything you know and turn it upside down.
we’re told that time heals all wounds, but when you’re grieving, you need more than time.
You need someone to see you in all of your pain. You need tools and support for coping with the enormity of your feelings and the changes to your world. You need to feel that you can somehow keep living your life - even when it feels impossible - while still honoring all that you’ve lost.
If living with loss feels like an enormous task, that’s because it is.
You’re not just grieving who or what you’ve lost: you may also be grieving who you were, the future you won’t get to have, your sense of safety, your routines, your worldview, and your identity.
Place all of that in a culture that doesn’t understand grief, and it’s no wonder that you might be feeling confused, overwhelmed, and alone.
The right support can make all the difference in how you learn to be with your loss and your pain. Therapy can help you cope with the challenges of your loss and help you find a way forward, even when it feels impossible.
Grief therapy
I provide therapy for a variety of losses, including death, divorce and breakups, chronic illness, anticipatory grief, non-death and ambiguous loss, coping with a diagnosis, infertility, and major life transitions.
It is a courageous act of love for yourself and for the people in your life to give your grief the support and care it deserves.
Therapy can provide you with a compassionate, skilled, and supportive space where you can:
my approach
Grief is a normal, healthy experience. The goal in therapy is not to “fix” your grief but to offer you tools, perspectives, and practices designed to help you explore your loss and its impact, learn new coping skills, navigate shifting roles and relationships, and discover a gentle path forward that honors your loss.
There is no “right” way to grieve; there is only the way that is right for you. I view therapy as a partnership that centers you and your unique experience. My approach is open and warm, gentle and calming, and grounded in curiosity and compassion.
Your grief is as unique as you are. I use the following combination of strategies and approaches in my work, always tailored to your needs and preferences:
Narrative therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed work with parts
Mindfulness techniques
Somatic (body-based) practices
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
Ritual
Creative expression and journaling

Meaning making practices
I value clients’ spiritual experiences and reflections in the grieving process. If you are interested in exploring this, I welcome your beliefs (and non-beliefs) in our work together.
