About Grief & Loss

Grief is a natural process and is not something we are taught how to do. It can occur when there is a death, but also during a big life change. Sometimes an event can create a sense of absence in your relationships, even though everyone is still physically present. Sometimes people die or leave. Grief is the experience of shattered dreams. I work with clients to process their loss in the context of their lives and future. Together, we build an understanding of how bereavement impacts their well-being, their attachment to others, their future goals, and their identity. We work to understand the feeling of grief in a way that clients can carry with them beyond the current loss. I am passionate about this work and have walked along many people who are experiencing loss.

Ending A Relationship

I work with individual clients who are going through a divorce or breakup. There can be grief, sadness, anxiety, struggles with attachment strategies, and a journey towards reclaiming your life. I work with clients to help them experience painful feelings, accept their story, explore patterns, and work towards choosing the life they want. I make room to develop mindfulness skills that can increase self-compassion and help clients own their self-worth.

Discernment Therapy

I work with couples and individuals as they navigate deciding whether or not to end a relationship. Sometimes people are surprised at how helpful it is to do this work, as it empowers them towards a future that they get to claim with agency and more serenity.

Death

I work with couples and individuals as they navigate someone leaving their life. We work through the loss of the attachment, learn how to identify grief, create agency through education and make a safe space to honor the memories, anxiety, regret, guilt, meaning of the relationship, and honor how this life existed in the client’s world. Working with grief around death is an honor.
