Grief & Loss Therapy

Grief is a deeply personal response to loss—one that can touch every layer of your inner and outer world. While often associated with death, grief may arise from any meaningful loss: a relationship, identity, health, homeland, or a sense of direction in life.

Grief often reflects how deeply we have loved. 

A Private, Attuned Space for Grief

Grief therapy offers a confidential, thoughtfully held space where your experience is met with presence, nuance, and clinical depth—supporting you in honoring your grief while learning how to live alongside it.

All Forms of Loss Are Welcome

I work with a wide range of grief experiences, including:

• Death of a loved one
• Traumatic grief (sudden, unexpected, or violent loss)
• Complicated or prolonged grief
• Relationship loss, divorce, or estrangement
• Loss of identity, purpose, or health
• Immigration, cultural displacement, and loss of home
• Existential or spiritual grief

  Grief reflects the depth of what has been loved, known, or imagined. It is not something to resolve – it is something to be in relationship with.

A Thoughtful, Integrative Approach

Grief is shaped not only by personal experience, but also by the deeper emotional and existential layers it touches. Our work may gently explore meaning, identity, and the questions that arise in the aftermath of loss—at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach integrates:

• EMDR for trauma and unresolved grief
• Somatic therapy to support nervous system regulation
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) for working with inner parts
• Depth and transpersonal psychology for meaning-making
• A multicultural perspective, honoring how culture, family traditions, and lived experience influence the way grief is expressed, processed, and integrated

  This allows for a process that is both clinically grounded and deeply individualized.

A Different Relationship to Grief

Healing does not mean leaving grief behind.

It may mean carrying the loss with less overwhelm, staying connected in a meaningful way, and gradually re-engaging with life while honoring what was lost.

Over time, grief can soften—not by disappearing, but by becoming

Begin with Support

Grief can be profoundly isolating—even within a full and outwardly successful life. Therapy offers a space where your experience is met with discretion, depth, and care.
