A Doorway into Therapy for Life Transitions
Grief & Loss
A steady presence through one of life’s deepest transitions. Twenty years accompanying people through loss. Ten of them inside hospice.
Grief is one of the largest thresholds a life can ask you to cross. It does not just take a person from you. It takes the future you had been building with them. It hands you a quieter, more frightening question. Who am I now?
Therapy with me is a steady place to be met with compassion as you cross that threshold at your own pace. Drawing from William Worden’s Four Tasks of Mourning, we work through accepting the reality of the loss, tolerating and processing the pain, adapting to a new life and identity, and finding a way to carry your person with you as you continue living.
This is not a process to “get over” or rush through. It can feel like a dark night of the soul, and sometimes like an alchemical transformation. I am not here to fix you. I am here to be with you, to help you stay grounded, and to gently accompany you as something new begins to take shape on the other side.
Clients leave feeling less alone, less afraid of uncertainty, and more connected to a sense of meaning.

Grief is not always the death of a person. If any of these name what you are carrying, they may be a closer fit.
