Grief

Experiencing grief is a natural and deeply personal response to loss, but the path to healing can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, experienced the end of a relationship, or faced other life-altering transitions, grief counseling offers a supportive space to navigate the emotional complexities that arise during this challenging time..

At the core of my approach to grief counseling is the belief that every individual’s experience of grief is unique. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to grieve, nor is there a specific timeline for healing. As a certified grief educator trained in David Kessler’s methodology, I provide compassionate guidance that honors your personal process, helping you find meaning and healing at your own pace.

What to Expect from Grief Counseling

Grief can manifest in many ways—emotionally, physically, and mentally. You might experience intense sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, or even relief. At times, grief can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others, making it hard to function in daily life.

In our sessions, we’ll explore these feelings in a non-judgmental, safe, and nurturing environment. Together, we will work through:

  • Grief is often complex and multi-layered. I will help you identify and express the range of emotions you are experiencing, creating space for both the pain and the potential for growth that can follow.

  • I will guide you in developing healthy coping mechanisms to manage the difficult emotions and thoughts that arise, offering tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and narrative therapy.

  • A major part of grief work involves finding ways to move forward while honoring your loss. Through reflection and guided exploration, we will work together to help you make sense of your loss and discover new meaning in your life.

  • Grief can often create distance in relationships, both with yourself and with others. Our work together will help you re-establish these connections, whether through self-compassion or finding support in those around you.

I recognize that grief is experienced differently across cultures and communities. My approach to grief counseling is non-pathologizing and culturally sensitive, honoring the unique ways in which diverse individuals and families process loss. Whether you're seeking grief counseling for yourself or for your family, my goal is to provide a space where all experiences are validated and respected.
