A Compassionate Guide for Your Journey Through Grief

My journey to becoming a grief counselor has been shaped by a unique blend of clinical training and a past life as a professional singer. This background in the expressive arts taught me to listen deeply—not just to words, but to the underlying emotions of sorrow, memory, and hope. It’s a skill I bring into every session, helping clients find their own voice amidst the silence of loss.

As a therapist specializing in grief, my practice is dedicated to supporting individuals navigating the profound challenge of losing a spouse. My style is warm and empathetic, creating a safe, non-judgmental space for your story. I believe in a collaborative partnership where we gently make sense of what’s happened while also lovingly challenging you to explore paths toward healing and peace.

My work is grounded in the belief that every form of expression has a place in healing. I am committed to providing steady, compassionate support as you carry your love forward and build a new future.

You Don’t Have to Carry It All by Yourself

If you’ve lost your spouse, you already know that grief isn’t something you “get over.” It’s messy, unpredictable, and can feel like you’re carrying a hundred-pound weight on your chest. My first promise to you is that you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

Our sessions are a dedicated space for your whole story—the heartbreak, the guilt, the cherished memories, and even the moments of unexpected lightness. This isn’t about pushing you to “move on.” It’s about finding ways to carry your love forward and allowing yourself to find moments of peace, and even laughter, again.

If you’re ready, I would be honored to walk this road with you, at your pace. Grief’s weight may never disappear completely, but together, we can make it lighter to carry. (And yes, you might just get an impromptu concert along the way—the front row seat is yours.)
