My approach
How grief counseling works
I do not believe in a formula for grief. Instead I draw on person-centered, trauma-informed care — listening first, then following where you need to go. Some sessions are about honoring the person or thing you lost. Some are about making sense of how you have changed. Some are simply about not carrying it alone for an hour.
I also draw on Gestalt approaches that help you stay grounded in the present, and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to work with the parts of you that are resisting grief, numbing to it, or overwhelmed by it — each with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.
Sessions are 45 minutes via secure telehealth video. A sliding scale is available if cost is a barrier.
