Without really being conscious of it at the time, grief is what propelled me into becoming a therapist.

Having experienced loss in many forms at a young age, including losing a parent, I feel a closeness with grief that has evolved over time into deep appreciation for it. That was only made possible, I believe, by the support I received from others—cementing for me the belief that healing happens in community.

Losing someone or something we love can be an enormously painful experience. But I have found that there is so much beauty and wisdom in our suffering. To observe the other side of a loss is to observe what we have loved, valued, and held dear.

Grief work is soul work because there is rarely much to ‘do’ or ‘solve’. Instead, it is a process of witnessing and being witnessed, offering up the control we love to cling to, and accepting what is.

I deeply, deeply appreciate my position to offer this kind of support to my clients. And grief comes in many forms: sometimes in the death of a loved one or the end of our own life; sometimes in the loss of a job/career, a relationship, a pet, or an identity we clung to for a long time. I see grief infused in so much of my work, not just with those who come to see me for a specific loss.

If this resonates with you, I would love to meet you. Please connect with me so we can see how I can support you.
