Drawing on Attachment theory, CBT, and Family systems approaches, she helps individuals and families process profound sadness, trauma, and life transitions while rebuilding meaning and connection.

Whether addressing sudden loss, anticipated grief, or complicated bereavement, she creates a safe space for healing that integrates emotional support with practical tools for moving forward.

Grief is a normal reaction but losing a loved one is painful and can throw our lives out of balance. Often, we mourn more than a person but also the life we had with them. From your daily routine to what you had hoped for in the future, much of your life has changed and that can be overwhelming. I will help you process this change and reorganize while keeping an eye on the day-to-day important tasks that are easy to overlook during challenging times.

Grief and loss can bring a wide range of emotions, including sadness, confusion, anger, or a deep sense of emptiness. In our work together, I provide a compassionate and supportive space where you can process these feelings at your own pace without pressure or judgment. We will gently explore your experience of loss while helping you stay connected to your inner resources and sources of support. Through mindful awareness, emotional understanding, and nervous system regulation, many clients begin to find moments of relief, meaning, and renewed connection as they move forward while continuing to honor the person or experience they have lost.
