Grief and Loss

When Loss Rewrites Your Life

Loss has a way of changing the shape of everything.

The mornings feel different.

Familiar rooms feel emptier, or louder, or harder to sit in.

You catch yourself mid-sentence and forget what you were saying, because some part of you is still somewhere else.

Fear. Sadness. Anger. Numbness. Confusion. A quiet sense of disconnection from yourself and the people around you.

The Weight Is Real

Whatever you’re facing, whether you’re living with a serious illness, caring for someone you love, mourning a death, adjusting to a divorce or a job ending, or trying to understand who you are after a profound change, the weight is real.

And you don’t have to carry it by yourself.

You’re Allowed to Grieve Here at Your Own Pace

I support individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult and uncertain transitions.

Therapy with me offers a place to set down the emotional weight of these experiences with honesty, compassion, and care.

My approach is grounded in empathy, presence, and respect for what your loss actually looks like, not a textbook version of it.

I’ve Been There, too

I’ve stood in the aftermath of loss myself. I know how disorienting it can be.

Together, we create room for grief, for resilience, and for healing at the pace your life can actually hold.

How I Walk With You Through Loss

I work with individuals seeking support with:

  • Anticipatory grief and serious illness
  • Caregiver stress and burnout
  • Death and bereavement
  • Divorce and relationship transitions
  • Job loss and career identity changes
  • Adoption and family changes
  • Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm
  • Identity loss and rebuilding your sense of self
  • Life transitions and existential concerns

My work draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Lifespan Integration, and the William Worden Grieving Tasks framework, as well as Cognitive Behavior Therapy grounded in acceptance and mindfulness.

Your Whole Story, Not Just Your Pain

I bring a person-in-environment lens to every conversation.

That means I honor your context, your relationships, your culture, and the strengths you’ve built across your whole life, not just the part of you that’s hurting right now.

You’ll feel heard, valued, and accepted in our sessions.

Find Your Footing Again

Wherever you are in the process, therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and find steadiness amid change.

You’ll begin to feel less ambushed by the hard moments and more able to meet them when they come.

The Parts of You That Were Hard to Reach

The parts of yourself that loss made hard to reach become reachable again.

Slowly, you’ll build a life that honors what you’ve lost and still has room for what’s ahead.

Reach Out When You’re Ready

I offer a free consultation by phone, in person at my office in downtown Woodinville, or virtually anywhere in Washington state.

We’ll talk about what you’re carrying, and whether working together feels like the right next step for you.

No pressure, no obligation. Just a conversation.
