Specialized Grief Therapy Online

Grief is not only about death. It is about any meaningful loss, the loss of a person, a role, a future you imagined, or a way of being in the world. It can feel like sadness, anger, silence, confusion, or numbness. Sometimes it is loud and washes over you in unexpected waves, of fear and paralysis. Other times, it is quiet and invisible, hiding behind responsibilities and routines that feel heavy but a welcome distraction.

When Loss Changes Everything

There is no right way to grieve. There is only your way shaped by your story, your beliefs, and your relationship to what has been lost.

You may be experiencing:
* A life transition
* A new diagnosis that is frightening and hard to face
* The death of a loved one
* Complicated family grief
* The loss of health, identity, or capacity
* Chronic sorrow or anticipatory grief for what is to come
* Role loss, such as retirement, caregiving, or divorce
* Spiritual or existential questions after loss
* Feeling stuck or disconnected months or years later

Grief is not a timeline. It is a landscape that we learn to live in.

Grief feels heavy. You might notice iT in your chest and shoulders.

A Different Approach To Grief Therapy

I offer a compassionate space where your grief is not pathologized or rushed. My approach integrates therapeutic tools with presence, meaning-making, and narrative practice. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, spiritual care theory, and the research on continuing bonds and adaptive grief. This is not about letting go. It is about learning how to carry what has changed with honesty, care, and a growing sense of self.

Grief and loss therapy for professionals

WHO I HELP

Grief shows up differently for everyone. You may be carrying deep sorrow or feeling surprisingly detached. Both are welcome.

I work with: * Professionals and caregivers who never had time to grieve * Adults navigating spiritual crisis after loss * Individuals in complex grief situations (estrangement, suicide loss, ambiguous loss) * People who feel like they “should be over it” but aren’t * Those seeking space to reflect, process, and integrate their experience

Our sessions are spacious and client-led. Some days may involve silence, or tears, or reflection. Other sessions may involve naming what you want next. It is important to build a relationship of trust so you can begin to understand your grief and learn to live with it more intentionally. I bring experience from hospitals, hospices, and community grief care. I also teach others how to companion grieving people. This work is sacred to me.
