Grief Therapy
Grief reshapes a person. It interrupts routines, shifts identity, and often brings emotions that feel unpredictable or overwhelming. My goal is to offer a grounded and compassionate space where you can sort through those layers without judgment or pressure to “move on” before you’re ready.
My Approach to Grief Support
I bring together my clinical training, my years of support as a pastor and workplace chaplain, and my own lived experience with loss. In 2025, my younger sister passed away. That loss changed me. It deepened my ability to sit with grief that has no easy answers, to honor what people carry silently, and to support clients with genuine presence rather than platitudes.
Grief is not a disorder. It is a natural human response to losing someone or something that mattered deeply. In therapy, we slow down long enough to understand how the loss is affecting your body, your emotions, your relationships, and your sense of meaning. Together, we explore ways of carrying the loss that feel honest, sustainable, and life-giving.
What We Can Work On Together
- Processing sadness, anger, confusion, guilt, or numbness
- Adjusting to daily life after a major loss
- Navigating anniversaries, triggers, and emotional waves
- Understanding how grief shows up in the body
- Rebuilding routines, identity, and purpose
- Integrating the memory of your loved one into ongoing life
- Family or relational strain during a period of loss
Why My Background Helps
For many years, I have walked with people through some of their most vulnerable moments in hospitals, workplaces, homes, and faith communities. That experience matters. It helps me support clients who are grieving in a way that is gentle, steady, and attuned to the emotional, relational, and meaning-making aspects of grief.
Whether or not a client identifies with faith or spirituality, my chaplain and pastoral background equips me to hold space for the deeper questions that grief often brings: identity, purpose, regret, hope, and the future.
