Grieving can feel like an overwhelming emotional situation that looks like deep sadness, confusion, anger and even guilt. Navigating your daily life may be challenging because grief affects our bodies, feelings and relationships, work and well-being. You may feel isolated in your pain, struggling to communicate feelings to friends and family. You may be wondering if anyone else has felt the way you are feeling.
Grief therapy can be a supportive place where you can share your feelings without judgment. Don't worry. I have plenty of tissue! I tell my clients to feel what they are feeling. Sometimes, we have moments where we laugh. Sometimes we cuss, too. Whatever helps.
I can offer tools so you can cope with the complex emotions of grief, helping you find meaning in your loss and explore healthy strategies.
I'm here to gently guide you towards healing and resilience. Your days will begin to feel lighter. As a bereaved parent, I can walk alongside you through this heartbreak and loss as you find a spark of hope again. Motivation will come back for those activities you once enjoyed.
Gradually over time, we will collaborate to help you find your new normal.

Anxiety often shows up as a mix of physical sensations, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that can vary in intensity and duration. Common features include:
- Physical symptoms: rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, muscle tension, trembling, sweating, dizziness, stomach upset, headaches, and fatigue.
- Cognitive signs: racing or intrusive thoughts, excessive worry about future events or “what if” scenarios, difficulty concentrating, mind going blank, and catastrophizing.
- Emotional experiences: persistent unease, irritability, fear, dread, feeling overwhelmed, or a sense of impending doom.
- Behavioral changes: avoidance of people, places, or activities that trigger worry; procrastination; reassurance-seeking; restlessness or inability to sit still; and safety behaviors that provide temporary relief but reinforce anxiety.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness together offer practical, evidence-based ways to reduce anxiety and build long-term resilience. Engaging with both approaches will typically lead to concrete skills that change how you think, feel, and behave through
- Identifying anxious thoughts
- Problem-solving skills
- Mindfulness skills
- Emotion regulation
- Acceptance and distress tolerance
- Relapse prevention
- Breaks the fear cycle
- Reduces avoidance
- Increased perceived control
- Improved attention and concentration

“Bereaved Mother
You are the very essence of brave
your love, is a story that will last the ages
Today, let the world see you as you truly are;
shattered, broken, rich and full
today, let the secret loose,
this suffering will break you, and become your magic
this loss will rip deep, and become the fire within your soul,
the music to your sway
and while it’s endlessly unfair
that your child is no longer here,
and we remember and honor that loss
you lead forward, you are transformed
this loss has shaped you,
into the most beautiful of beings”
