Grief therapy
“To be loving is to be open to grief, to be touched by sorrow, even sorrow that is unending.”
- bell hooks, All About Love
Grief can be a lonely, confusing experience. While grieving a loved one’s death, we can be surprised and ashamed of a happy moment, and then feel wiped out by a wave of sadness. What I offer my grieving clients is a loving, validating presence of someone who knows her own particular grief and also believes no two people grieve alike. I believe grief is an expression of love, and that grief does not ever fully disappear but changes over time as it is felt and understood. I am a grief-positive clinician who works with a wide variety of death and loss grief, and have a particular specialization in working with grief from sudden, unexpected loss.
