Grief counseling , also known as bereavement therapy, is a form of therapy intended to help you cope with loss, like the death of a partner, family member, friend, colleague, career, position or pet. The death of a loved one can cause both emotional and physical pain that can sometimes impair your ability to function.

Losing a loved one is an inevitable part of life, and the grieving process can be overwhelming and all-consuming. However, grief and loss extend beyond the death of a loved one; they can also encompass other experiences such as job loss, the end of a relationship, or a significant change in one's life. These losses can evoke feelings of grief and necessitate support and processing.
It is essential to recognize that there is no right or wrong way to grieve, and seeking therapy during this time can provide invaluable support. Therapy can assist in navigating the complex emotions associated with loss and finding healthy ways to honor and cope with our grief. You do not have to face this challenging time alone; together, we can navigate the journey of grief and embark on the path to healing. Take that important first step towards healing by scheduling an appointment today. Trust me, it can truly make a difference.
Experiencing a major loss and the grief that follows can make us feel unmoored and overwhelmed, stranded someplace between who we once were and who we are becoming. I work with my clients to gently and compassionately explore what lays inside these vulnerable periods of transition, including the potential for growth and evolution.
Grief can be a heavy and overwhelming burden to bear, especially after losing a loved one. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to navigate the grieving process, in your own unique way, and come to terms with your loss. Together, we will honor the memory of your loved one and explore the complex emotions that come with grief. Using evidence-based approaches such as grief counseling and trauma-informed care, I will support you in finding ways to cope with your loss, and healing looks different for each one of us.
I understand that losing a loved one can change us permanently, and that healing takes time. My role as a therapist is to walk with you, to listen, and to guide you on this journey of self-discovery and understanding. My goal is to empower you to find a new sense of balance and inner peace as you navigate the grieving process in a way that works best for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today, together we can work towards healing and finding meaning in your life again.
All change includes loss. We need to find ways to honor our past relationships and experiences. Losing a loved one, ending a relationship, or moving away from our childhood home - we need to make mindful choices about what we keep with us, in our hearts and minds. And we need space to let loss move through us.
I have worked with clients experiencing grief and loss for over 18 years in various settings from foster care, hospital, non profit and private practice. I also know grief and loss from my own personal journey.
