Grief isn't something
you get over.

Loss changes you. The goal isn't to return to who you were before — it's to find a way to carry what happened and still move forward. That takes time, and it takes real support.

What It Looks Like

Grief comes in
many forms.

Grief is most often associated with death — and that kind of loss is real and profound. But grief also shows up in places we don't always name as grief: the end of a relationship, a diagnosis, an identity that no longer fits, a family rupture, a life that didn't go the way you thought it would.

Sometimes grief is complicated — when the relationship with the person you lost was difficult, when there was no closure, when you feel things you think you "shouldn't" feel. That kind of grief can be particularly hard to hold alone.

I work with people in all of these places — both the acute, immediate waves and the quieter, longer-lasting grief that settles into who you are.

Loss of a loved one — including sudden, traumatic, or complicated deaths

Grief that doesn't seem to be lifting, or that's resurfaced unexpectedly

Ambiguous or disenfranchised grief — loss that others don't recognize as such

End of a relationship, friendship, or chapter of life

Grief connected to identity, diagnosis, or major life transition

Family estrangement or loss of a relationship that was already difficult

How I Approach It

Present with you
in it.

Grief work isn't about moving through stages or arriving somewhere. It's about having a space where you don't have to manage what you're feeling — where the full weight of it can be present without someone trying to fix it or hurry it along.

I draw on emotion-focused and narrative approaches in grief work — helping people process the emotional experience of loss and, over time, begin to make meaning out of it. This isn't about finding a silver lining. It's about understanding what the loss means, what was held in that relationship or chapter of life, and what remains.

I'm also attentive to the ways culture, family, and community shape grief. How loss is mourned, what feelings are permitted, and whether grief is witnessed — all of this varies, and it matters.
