How do
therapists for grief
help with loss?
Grief is a natural response to the death of a loved one, as well as other types of loss or change, such as:
Loss of a friendship or friend group
Moving to a new home
Loss of home as a result of natural disaster
End of a romantic relationship
The future you envisioned, perhaps due to war, political/economic instability, and/or climate change

Individual Therapy for Grief
It is a privilege and an honor to work with people who are grieving. I find it to be one of the most intimate and tender experiences to hold space for the emotions that accompany grief, and to help clients process it in a way that opens the possibility to feel relief, warmth, love, and even joy.

We are not meant to grieve alone. Sharing our sorrow in a safe communal space can help the healing process tremendously. Please visit the support group page or contact me directly to inquire about upcoming Grief Support events or series.

My approach to this work comes from training with Francis Weller who blends evidence-based psychotherapy with indigenous wisdom and ceremony. "To honor our grief, to grant it space and time in our frantic world, is to fulfill a covenant with soul—to welcome all that is, thereby granting room for our most authentic life.” ― Francis Weller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief
