The death of someone you love can change your world in profound ways. Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. You may feel sadness, anger, numbness, relief, guilt, confusion, or all of these emotions at different times. You may find yourself moving between moments of intense pain and moments of ordinary life, often when you least expect it.
Although grief cannot be rushed or fixed, you don’t have to carry it alone. Therapy can provide a supportive place to talk openly about your loss, make sense of difficult emotions, and find ways to live alongside grief while remaining connected to the person or relationship that mattered so deeply to you.
Grief can also begin long before a death occurs. If someone you love has been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, you may already be mourning the changes, uncertainties, and losses that come with caregiving and anticipating what lies ahead. This experience, often called anticipatory grief, can bring feelings of sadness, fear, anger, helplessness, exhaustion, and even moments of relief or hope. Having a space to explore these complex emotions can help you feel more supported and less alone during an extraordinarily difficult time.
My work with grief has been shaped by more than 26 years of supporting individuals and families through illness, loss, and change. I have worked alongside people in hospitals, community settings, and private practice as they have faced some of life’s most difficult moments. I bring that experience into therapy with humility, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique relationship with their loss.
