Grief doesn’t always look the way people expect.

Maybe it’s the ache after a breakup, the quiet sadness of an empty nest, or the disorientation that comes with losing a job or moving somewhere new. Or maybe you're grieving someone you loved deeply and it’s just… hard to function the way you used to. You might feel numb, irritable, stuck in the past, or unsure of who you are now. Life feels different—and you’re trying to figure out how to carry this loss and still show up for the rest of it.

With 25 years in education, I specialize in supporting adults through grief—from death to life’s other painful losses like divorce, career changes, or big transitions. Therapy with me is grounded, open, and supportive. We’ll make space for your grief without rushing it, and help you find steadier ground as you figure out what comes next.

If you’re feeling stuck in sadness or unsure how to move forward, give me a call or send me an email to book a free 15-minute consultation. No pressure—just a chance to connect, ask questions, and see if therapy might help you make sense of what you’re carrying and how to move through it!

OR…still not sure what therapist is a good fit for you?
