Grief doesn’t follow a timeline — and it doesn’t always look how people expect. In this work, there’s no pressure to “move on” or find silver linings. Just a calm, compassionate place to feel what you need to feel — and a guide who will walk with you as you find your way forward.

You won’t find quick fixes or forced silver linings here. Grief isn’t a problem to be solved — it’s something that needs space, permission, and presence.
In our work together, we’ll make room for the full complexity of what you’re carrying. There’s no right timeline. No judgment. Just gentle guidance, deep respect, and an approach that honors both your pain and your capacity to move forward on your terms.
Here, healing doesn’t mean forgetting, and moving forward doesn’t mean moving on.

When your grief is acknowledged, not minimized, explained away, or rushed, something inside you shifts. You begin to trust your own experience again. You stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking, “What do I need?” This work creates space to reconnect with parts of yourself you thought were lost to the pain: your intuition, your hope, your capacity for joy.
Why This Work Changes Everything
Some sessions may bring tears, others may bring relief, and sometimes, we’ll simply focus on making it through the day with a little more compassion. I integrate relational EMDR, talk therapy, and body-based awareness to support your unique needs, but the most important tool we’ll use is the trust we build together.
What to Expect in Our Work Together
This work is about honoring what’s been lost, tending to what still hurts, and slowly reconnecting with the parts of you that feel buried under the weight of it all. It’s about allowing grief to move at its own pace, while gently making space for moments of clarity, meaning, and even hope — not because you’re forced to feel better, but because you’re finally allowed to feel fully.
What This Work Is Really About
Grief isn’t just emotional. It can show up in your body, your relationships, your routines, and your sense of identity. My work honors all parts of your experience — cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual — so healing isn’t compartmentalized. You won’t be asked to ignore your intuition or force yourself forward. Instead, we’ll work collaboratively to move at your own pace, in a way that honors your full humanity.
When words aren’t enough, we need more than traditional talk therapy. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help process unresolved pain and trauma in the nervous system, while grounding our work in a strong therapeutic relationship. This blend supports both emotional safety and lasting change — not by pushing through the pain, but by tending to it with care.
Not all grief is loud. Sometimes, it hides behind anxiety, fatigue, or a sense of disconnect that’s hard to explain. I have deep experience supporting clients through the quieter forms of grief — the kind that stems from divorce, caregiving shifts, fertility loss, or simply becoming someone new. I help clients give language to what they’re carrying and make meaning from what’s been lost, even when the world doesn’t recognize it as grief.
Because grief deserves more than coping strategies

What to expect
Not at all. While I do work with clients grieving the death of a loved one, grief often shows up in other, less recognized forms. You might be grieving a relationship that ended, a fertility journey that didn’t go as hoped, or the quiet loss of who you thought you’d be by now. Grief can follow divorce, estrangement, medical diagnoses, caregiving transitions, or even the slow unraveling of a role or identity that once defined you.
If something important has shifted — and it’s left you feeling unmoored, heartbroken, or unsure how to move forward — that’s grief, too. And it’s welcome here.
No. You don’t have to share anything before you’re ready. Our work begins by creating a sense of safety and connection, not by diving into painful memories. In fact, one of the reasons I use EMDR is because it allows you to process grief and distress internally — without having to explain every detail out loud.
For many clients, that’s a relief. Especially when the loss is complex, hard to name, or carries layers of shame or confusion. Whether we begin with quiet reflection, grounding tools, or body-based resourcing, we’ll move at a pace that respects your boundaries and honors your readiness.
Healing doesn’t have to mean reliving. In fact, part of the work we do together is helping your nervous system feel safer and more supported, without being overwhelmed by the past. If we use EMDR, the goal isn’t to force you back into painful experiences — it’s to help your brain reprocess them in a way that reduces their intensity, so they no longer feel as raw, intrusive, or stuck.
You’ll never be asked to revisit anything you’re not ready for. We’ll move with care, using tools that help you stay grounded in the present, even as we gently tend to what’s been hard to carry.
EMDR is absolutely appropriate for grief — especially when your loss feels stuck, unresolved, or tangled with other painful experiences. While it was originally developed to treat trauma, EMDR has been widely adapted to help people process many forms of distress, including grief that lingers, resurfaces unexpectedly, or feels complicated by other emotions like guilt, regret, or anger.
The first step is scheduling a free consultation where we can talk about what’s been going on for you and whether this feels like the right fit. There’s no pressure or commitment — just a chance to connect, ask questions, and take one small, meaningful step toward support.
When you're ready, I'm here.
There’s no perfect time to begin. Just a moment when something inside you says: I can’t keep carrying this alone. If that moment is now, I’d be honored to walk with you. You don’t need a polished story or a plan — just a quiet yes to the possibility of healing on your own terms.
