Grief, loss, and life transitions are at the heart of my work as a therapist. I specialize in supporting clients through life-altering experiences—whether it's the pain of a devastating loss or the quieter, often overlooked forms of grief that society tends to ignore. When life takes an unexpected turn, such as an "out-of-order" death, illness, infertility, or tragic accidents, it can leave you feeling unmoored and uncertain of how to move forward. After such losses, you’re not expected to "return to normal"—because the truth is, life may never feel quite the same. In therapy, we’ll create a compassionate space to honor your grief and help you begin to rebuild a new sense of self and stability that feels true to where you are now.

The grief of distancing yourself from family, particularly as an adult child, can be complex and deeply painful. Choosing to step away due to unresolved trauma, broken boundaries, or attachment wounds often brings a profound sense of loss—even when the decision feels necessary for your well-being. The weight of estrangement can stir feelings of guilt, sorrow, and confusion, leaving you mourning the family connection you may have longed for but never truly had. This kind of grief is quiet and often misunderstood, as society doesn’t always recognize the heartbreak that comes with protecting yourself from those you’re expected to be closest to.

In therapy, we’ll hold space for the grief that comes from walking away, honoring the difficulty of choosing distance while also tending to the wounds that led you there. When appropriate, we can also explore the possibility of family sessions to either work toward repair or process past hurts in a safe, supportive environment. Together, we’ll work through the pain of loss, exploring how to heal from the rupture while reclaiming your sense of safety, identity, and peace.
