Navigating the profound pain of losing a loved one is one of life's greatest challenges. You might be feeling misunderstood because no one seems to understand the profound depth of your pain. You might worry about overwhelming others if you were honest about how you're really feeling. You might feel constantly irritable and on-edge or numb and just exhausted. You might worry about not honoring your loved one properly, or what it means if you were to seek out joy again.
If you struggle to express and process your grief, balance grief with daily life and responsibilities, navigate emotionally unavailable family members, manage intense grief waves, and navigate your new identity without your loved one...
And you want to master your emotions, process traumatic memories and work through triggers, feel supported in your relationships, rediscover joy and fulfillment, and learn effective coping strategies to carry your grief with you as you move forward- schedule a session with me today and let's work together to find the best path forward for you.

I often use Internal Family Systems, Attachment Science and a psychodynamic approach. We will begin by exploring what isn't working for you now, and where you would like to go/ what you would like to work on. Then we will explore your history and various factors that contribute to the undesired feelings or behavior so that we can begin to heal and implement lasting changes.
