Grief and Loss

Finding Your Way Through What Feels Impossible

Grief changes everything. It can shake the ground beneath you, alter your sense of self, and make even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming. Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, facing the slow loss of someone to illness or addiction, or navigating the invisible grief of estrangement or divorce—your pain is real, and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Grief doesn’t follow a neat timeline. It doesn’t follow “stages,” and it doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, numbness, anger, or disorientation. Sometimes it shows up months or even years later. And sometimes it’s not about death at all, but about the loss of something intangible: a relationship that was never what it should have been, a future you imagined, or the person someone used to be.

As a therapist trained in grief and loss work, I create space for all of it—the pain, the questions, the love, and the unfinished edges.

Types of Loss I Support include but are not limited to:

  • Death of a loved one (recent or past)

  • Anticipatory grief (before a loss occurs)

  • Ambiguous loss (estrangement, dementia, divorce, incarceration, or disappearance)

  • Grieving a parent, partner, friend, or sibling. Also includes miscarriage and still born.

  • Complicated or traumatic grief

  • Loss of identity, roles, or major life transitions (retirement, divorce, infertility)

  • Collective or cultural grief

  • Pet loss and disenfranchised grief, which can leave us feeling very much alone

A Compassionate, Research-Informed Approach

Grief is deeply personal, and there’s no “right” way to do it. My approach is grounded in the work of some of the most respected voices in the field, including David Kessler, Pauline Boss, and Megan Devine. Their work reminds us that grief isn’t something to “get over”—it’s something to integrate, carry, and live with in a new way.

I also draw on trauma-informed therapy, somatic awareness, and attachment theory to gently explore how grief impacts not only our minds, but our bodies, relationships, and sense of safety.

Whether you’re seeking meaning after loss, struggling to function day-to-day, or simply need someone to witness your pain without trying to fix it—I’m here.

Why Therapy for Grief?

Friends and family often mean well, but their support may fade or come with unhelpful advice. In therapy, you get the space to grieve at your own pace, without pressure. We may talk, cry, sit in silence, remember, or rage—whatever your grief needs.

If you’re dealing with ambiguous loss, where closure isn’t possible, our work can help you name the pain, reduce guilt, and begin to adapt to a new reality—without denying the depth of what was lost.

Grief therapy can help you:

  • Navigate overwhelming emotions

  • Process regrets, “what ifs,” or unresolved feelings

  • Reconnect with meaning and identity

  • Feel less alone and more grounded

  • Begin to live alongside your grief with compassion

You’re Not Broken—You’re Grieving

Grief is a reflection of love. And while it may never fully go away, it doesn’t have to consume you. With support, you can move from simply surviving to living with more presence, gentleness, and purpose.
