Grief and Loss Counseling in Otsego, NY.

I am committed to helping my patients cope with grieving the loss of a loved one by encouraging them to express their emotions and helping them find meaning in situations that are often tragic. I try to employ a patient approach to help with the essential task of adjustment to such sudden change. Grief therapy also involves the loss of body parts, body functions and adjustment to an illness which is often life threatening

I specialize in a compassionate evidence based approach to grief and loss that helps clients process emotions, rebuild stability, and create meaning after significant life changes. Through supportive exploration, cognitive behavioral strategies, and personalized coping tools, I guide clients in understanding their grief. Clients benefit by clarity.

I offer a compassionate space where the weight of sorrow can be acknowledged without judgment. I gently support clients in exploring how loss affects their emotional, physical, and relational worlds, and I help them navigate the complex waves that often arise. With steady presence and an emphasis on emotional safety, I guide clients toward integrating their grief rather than feeling pressured to “move past” it. Over time, this process allows meaning, connection, and self-compassion to naturally re-emerge, supporting healing at a pace that feels right.
