Philosophy
Experience
Experience
We all experience grief. There is no one pathway through the pain, but one must walk into its depths in order to heal.
No one grieves the same way, the path is not linear, and there is no set timeline for when the light will start to return.
By expressing thoughts and feelings, learning, and building skills, the cadence and intensity of our grief changes.
Approach
Experience
Approach
I will learn about your grief and where you are in it — who or what you lost, what you are feeling, the effects on your daily life, and your support systems.
I will teach you about the dynamics of grief and use talk therapy, writing, art, and other ways to help you process your loss and begin to walk a path toward healing and meaning.
Services
Experience
Approach
I provide individual, family, and small group grief counseling, and also offer educational services and support to groups such as those who have a common loss, or those working with people who are chronically or terminally ill.
Sessions range from short, introductory meetings to longer, more intensive sessions.
Online Counseling Services
Individual and small group counseling is offered via online sessions.
I offer one-on-one, family, and small group sessions to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors about grief and loss in a safe and confidential environment. My clients and I meet virtually using the online platform Zoom, by appointment.
Various techniques, tailored to your needs, will empower you to cope with your loss, work toward emotional recovery, and find meaning in your loss.
I also offer professional training about grief, particularly anticipatory grief and complex loss, and provide education and support to groups of professionals doing this work.

People think that grief slowly gets smaller with time. The truth is that grief stays the same size, but our life grows around it.
