Therapy for Grief & Loss
Support for grief that follows death, a relationship ending, or a loss that doesn't come with a name.
Grief can feel lonely, even when you're not alone.
When someone dies, there's usually a script. People show up, they bring food, they offer condolences, and eventually they expect life to return to normal. But grief rarely follows a script — it catches you off guard instead. A song comes on the radio and suddenly you're back in a moment you weren't expecting. You find yourself listening for their footsteps, reaching for your phone to call them, or standing in a room full of their belongings, unsure what to keep, what to let go of, or whether you're ready to decide anything at all.
Grief isn't only heartbreak. It's also the finances, the decisions they used to make, and the logistics no one prepares you for. And underneath it all is the harder question of how you're supposed to make sense of any of it. Sometimes the hardest part isn't your grief — it's everyone else's expectations of it. You may find yourself reassuring the people who try to comfort you, nodding politely when someone says they know exactly how you feel, or pretending you're doing better because it's easier than explaining that you're not. Even kindness doesn't always reach the parts of grief you keep to yourself.
Some of the heaviest losses don't involve death at all. You may be grieving a marriage that ended, a relationship that's become distant, a career that defined you, or a future you had already imagined. These losses often don't come with a ceremony or a clear ending, leaving you to wonder whether what you're feeling even counts as grief. How the loss happened matters, too. A long illness might leave you grieving years you thought you'd have while also feeling relief that someone's suffering has ended, just as a sudden or traumatic loss can leave you grieving both the loss and the way it happened. Both matter, and both deserve space. And sometimes grief begins before the loss itself. If you're caring for an aging parent or in a marriage you know is ending, you may already be mourning the future you thought you'd have.
Whatever shape your loss has taken, you go to work, care for your family, and keep up with your routine, all while carrying something far heavier than anyone else can see.
Grief doesn't need to be fixed — it needs to be held.
I’M HERE FOR YOU.
Imagine being able to talk about your loss exactly as it was, without softening it for anyone else's comfort. The ache doesn't disappear, but it stops taking up all the room, allowing more of your life to find its way back. Gradually, you find a way to hold this loss alongside your life, instead of choosing between them.
HERE’S WHAT WE’LL DO TOGETHER.
If you can't imagine that right now, that's okay.
Therapy isn't about moving past your loss on a timeline or arriving at some version of "closure." It's about having a place where every part of your grief is welcome — the person, the relationship, or the life you lost, complicated parts included — without managing anyone else's reaction to it.
Together, we make sense of what this loss has changed. We sit with the questions you're still carrying, the parts of your identity that feel different now, and the ordinary moments that don't feel ordinary anymore. If part of your grief is tied to how someone died, or how something ended, we make room for that too, without losing sight of the relationship itself. If you're mourning a loss that's still unfolding, that has a place here as well.
Over time, this isn't about forgetting or "getting over it." It's about finding a way to carry your loss without letting it keep the rest of your life on hold.

QUESTIONS? I’VE GOT ANSWERS.
Frequently asked questions —
-
No. Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and there's no expiration date on needing support. Sometimes people come to therapy right after a loss; sometimes it's months or years later, when something shifts — an anniversary, another loss, or simply running out of capacity to keep holding it alone. Whenever you're ready is the right time.
-
Grief can be woven through many seasons of life. You may be grieving a miscarriage, infertility, becoming an empty nester, divorce, retirement, or realizing life is unfolding differently than you imagined. If your grief is intertwined with motherhood or midlife, you might find my Motherhood & Midlife page helpful.
-
It can. Grief affects more than your emotions. It can also show up as racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, or feeling constantly on edge. If this sounds familiar, my Anxiety page explores how grief and anxiety often overlap — and how therapy can help.
-
It's not a formula. Some sessions, we'll talk through memories, regrets, or things left unsaid. Others, we'll focus on how grief is showing up in your body, your relationships, or your daily functioning right now. My approach is collaborative — I follow what you need that day, rather than moving you through fixed stages of grief.
