Navigating Loss

Loss takes many forms. The death of someone close to you. The end of a relationship. The realization that something important in your life has changed. Grief rarely moves in a straight line. It can be messy and unpredictable, showing up as waves of sadness, anger, confusion, or even moments where you find yourself reacting more strongly to people or situations than you normally would. At times you may withdraw from others, struggle to find meaning in things that once mattered, or feel the ache of losing someone who understood you in a way few people ever did.

In our work together, therapy becomes a space to make room for the full range of what you may be experiencing. Sometimes that means putting words to emotions that feel difficult to name. Other times it means exploring how grief reshapes your identity, relationships, and the story you tell about your life. And other times, it could mean laughing in an inappropriate moment. For some people, loss also opens questions about meaning, purpose, or spirituality that can be important to explore.

I bring both professional training and personal experience to this work, having experienced the loss of both parents and having navigated grief at different stages of life myself. While every person’s experience of loss is unique, that perspective has deepened my appreciation for how complex and deeply personal the grieving process can be.

Over time, many people find that while grief never fully disappears, it can become something they learn to carry differently, making space again for connection, meaning, and moments of life continuing forward.
