When life has been changed by loss
Grief shows up in many forms and at many times - after the death of someone important (bereavement support), the loss of a relationship, changes to health or identity, or the loss of a future you expected. Many people seek therapy not to “move on,” but to find steadier footing while carrying what matters forward.

​

This space is about supporting you as you are, without timelines, expectations, or pressure to grieve a certain way. This is about finding steadiness, and you don’t need to do this alone.

 

What you may be experiencing
Grief can touch emotions, thoughts, and the body in different ways. Some people notice waves of sadness, numbness, anger, or longing. Others experience fatigue, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep, or a sense of being disconnected from everyday life. You may feel okay one moment and overwhelmed the next, or uncertain about how to talk about what you’re carrying.

 

What’s often going on beneath the surface
Grief is not a problem to solve; it’s a response to loss and change. Beneath the surface, your system may be adjusting to a world that no longer feels the same. This can involve making sense of absence, renegotiating identity or roles, and holding love and loss at the same time.

 

Understanding grief this way helps reduce self-judgment. It allows us to work with what’s present, rather than trying to force resolution or closure.

 

Outside factors that may be contributing
External pressures can make grief harder to carry. Expectations to “be okay,” return to routines, or support others can limit space for your own experience. Anniversaries, ongoing responsibilities, family dynamics, or practical stressors can intensify emotions - even long after a loss.

 

Recognizing these influences helps create a more compassionate, realistic approach to support.

 

Practical & lived experience that reduces the need to explain

Alongside clinical work, my understanding of grief is shaped by my own experience with the loss of a close loved one. Grief is personal and non-linear, and support here is paced with care, creating room for what matters while helping you stay connected to daily life.

​

My grounded, supportive approach
Support here is gentle, grounded, and paced with care. The focus is on helping you feel steadier as you carry grief, creating space to acknowledge what’s been lost while staying connected to your experience as it unfolds. Together, we support your capacity to remain present with what you’re feeling, without pressure to move grief in a particular direction or timeframe.

 

This may include practical ways to navigate difficult moments, regulate emotional intensity, and find meaning or connection where it feels possible. There’s no requirement to process everything or to reach a particular outcome.

​

What support can look like
Sessions offer a calm, supportive environment where you can speak freely - or sit quietly - without needing to explain or justify your experience. We move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on what’s most present now rather than revisiting everything at once.

 

Support adapts as your grief does. Some days it may be about making space for emotion; other days it may be about finding steadiness, routine, or moments of relief.

 

The intention of therapy here

The intention is to support steadiness while carrying loss. Many people find that, with support, grief becomes less overwhelming and more integrated into daily life. While loss does not disappear, this work aims to help create space for compassion, meaning, and continued engagement with life at a pace that feels respectful and realistic.

 

If you’re feeling unsure about starting
It’s common to wonder whether it’s “too soon,” “too late,” or whether talking will make things harder. You don’t need to know what you’re looking for, and you don’t need to be ready in a particular way. Support here is meant to meet you where you are.
