Grief and Loss
Therapy for grief that lingers, reshapes identity, and doesn’t follow a timeline.
A slower, reflective space to understand what grief has altered rather than trying to move past it.
Make space for your loss
For some people, grief doesn’t arrive as a wave that eventually recedes. It settles in more quietly, altering the way you move through the world and understand yourself. You may still be functioning- showing up to work, maintaining relationships, doing what needs to be done, yet something inside feels fundamentally changed.
This kind of grief often isn’t about constant sadness. It can feel more like disorientation or a subtle sense of being unmoored. The world looks familiar, but you don’t feel the same within it. You may find yourself questioning who you are now, what matters to you, or how to relate to a life that no longer feels organized around what you lost.
You might be grieving a person, a relationship, a future you imagined, or a version of yourself that no longer fits. Others may expect you to be “doing better” by now, while inside you’re still trying to understand what this loss has reshaped. There may be pressure, spoken or unspoken, to move forward, make meaning, or return to who you were before, even as that no longer feels possible.
In this space, grief isn’t treated as something to resolve or get past. Instead, we make room to understand how loss has changed your inner landscape and how you’re learning to live in its aftermath. When grief is met with patience, curiosity, and care, it often becomes more understandable and less isolating- not because it disappears, but because you’re no longer carrying it alone or fighting against what it has altered.
How this work holds grief
Much of our time together involves understanding the meaning of what was lost and the ways your inner world has reorganized in its absence. Grief often brings up questions about identity, belonging, and direction. Rather than trying to answer those questions quickly, we allow them to be explored gradually, with curiosity and care. This creates space for grief to become more understandable and less overwhelming, even when it remains present.
I don’t offer strategies to “get through” grief or guidance about how you should be feeling. My role is to help you listen more closely to your own experience and to reflect back what’s emerging so it can be seen more clearly. Over time, many people find that this gentle attention allows grief to soften—not by disappearing, but by becoming less isolating and less consuming.
As your relationship to grief shifts, so often does your relationship to yourself. What once felt confusing or destabilizing can begin to feel more integrated. From that place, people often discover a quieter sense of steadiness and meaning—not because the loss has been resolved, but because they’re no longer fighting against what it has changed.
Types of loss I work with
Grief isn’t limited to the loss of a person through death. Many losses change the shape of your life just as profoundly, even when they’re less publicly acknowledged or understood. I work with people navigating a wide range of losses including those that are complex, ambiguous, or layered over time.
This includes grief related to the death of someone important to you as well as losses that come through divorce, separation, or estrangement- relationships that have ended, changed, or become unreachable in ways that still carry emotional weight. These losses often involve not only the person themselves, but also the life, identity, or future you imagined alongside them.
I also work with grief connected to infertility, pregnancy loss, or the loss of a hoped-for future. These experiences carry a particular kind of quiet grief, one that isn’t always visible to others but that can deeply affect how you understand your body, your sense of meaning, and your place in the world.
While the circumstances of these losses differ, many people find that they bring similar questions beneath the surface: Who am I now? What has changed? How do I live with what didn’t happen or couldn’t continue? In therapy, we make room to explore these questions at a pace that feels respectful of your experience without rushing toward resolution or explanation.
This work may be a good fit if:
Your grief feels ongoing, complicated, or difficult to explain, even if a lot of time has passed
You’re functioning on the outside, but inside you feel altered, unmoored, or unsure how to orient yourself after a loss
You find that grief shows up quietly as numbness, self-criticism, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection rather than as constant sadness
You’re carrying grief related to death, divorce, separation, estrangement, infertility, or a future that never came to be
You’re not looking for advice, timelines, or reassurance, but for space to understand how this loss has changed you
You want a slower, reflective approach that allows meaning and integration to unfold over time
A gentle next step
If this way of working with grief resonates, you’re welcome to reach out for a consultation. This initial conversation is a chance to meet, talk a bit about what you’re carrying, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
There’s no expectation to have the right words or a clear plan for what you want to work on. We can move slowly and thoughtfully, beginning wherever you are.
A chance to meet and see if working together feels right without obligation.
