Specialties

Grief and Loss

Room to grieve a person, a relationship, a role or a future you expected.

Who It Is For

Grief has no correct timeline

Some clients come soon after a death. Others come years later, when grief shows up in a new way. Loss is not only death: divorce, a diagnosis, estrangement or a lost career can all bring grief. Partners and family members can be involved too. When a loss touches the whole household, family sessions give everyone room to grieve differently without pulling apart.
