Grief Counseling/Therapy

Grief does not follow a timeline. It does not always look like sadness.

Sometimes it shows up as anger that seems to come from nowhere.

Sometimes as numbness, or restlessness, or a quiet shapelessness that is hard to name. Sometimes it is the grief of a death. Sometimes it is the grief of a relationship, a version of yourself, or a life you thought you were going to have.

All of it is real. All of it deserves space.

I work with people who are carrying loss and have not yet found the right place to put it down. People who feel pressure to be further along than they are. People who are grieving something that others do not quite recognize as grief. People who have held it together for everyone around them and have not yet had room to fall apart themselves.

You do not have to arrive knowing what you need. You do not have to be ready to move on. You just have to be willing to show up with what you are actually carrying.

We do not try to push grief away or resolve it. We make space to meet it, including what is happening in your body, so it can begin to move in a way that feels more natural and less alone.

The people I work best with are not looking to get past their grief as quickly as possible, but are open to being with it in a way that allows something real to shift over time.

I have sat with people in some of their heaviest moments. It is work I take seriously and consider a privilege.

If that resonates, you are in the right place.
