Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and neither does healing.
I offer compassionate counseling for individuals and families navigating loss, change, and the weight of grief.
Grief counseling is a space where you don’t have to be strong.
Loss can come from many places, the death of a loved one, changes in relationships, missed seasons, or life that looks different than you expected. Grief often shows up in waves, affecting emotions, thoughts, faith, and daily functioning. In our work together, we make room for your experience without rushing, minimizing, or trying to “fix” what needs to be felt.
Faith can be gently integrated for those who desire it, offering grounding and meaning alongside clinical support.
My Grief Counseling Process
Grief work is not about moving on. It’s about learning how to carry loss with care.
Step 1: Create Space
We begin by acknowledging your loss and how it’s impacting you right now. This step focuses on safety, validation, and helping you feel supported in your experience.
Step 2: Understand & Process
Together, we explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of grief. We identify patterns, unmet needs, and areas where grief feels stuck, using trauma-informed tools to gently process what you’ve been holding.
Step 3: Integrate & Rebuild
Over time, grief begins to shift. While the loss remains part of your story, it no longer defines or overwhelms you. This stage focuses on rebuilding meaning, restoring emotional balance, and finding steadiness in daily life.
