Grief and Loss

Grief touches all parts of us—mind, body, and spirit—and it rarely follows a clear or predictable timeline. Many people I work with experience symptoms such as waves of sadness, numbness, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep or appetite, irritability, fatigue, or a feeling of being disconnected from others or from themselves. Grief can also bring unexpected emotions like guilt, anger, yearning, or a sense of disbelief that life has changed so profoundly. Whether you're mourning the death of a loved one, a life you imagined, a relationship, or a sense of identity, I offer space to honor what’s been lost and gently tend to what remains. Grief is not something to “get over,” but something we learn to carry, integrate, and be changed by. Together, we can create room for both sorrow and meaning, ache and aliveness.

“Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve.”
— Francis Weller - The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief.

Trauma and PTSD

Trauma lives in the body as much as in the memory. Many people I work with are navigating the wide range of symptoms that can come with PTSD—intrusive memories or images, nightmares, feeling startled or jumpy, difficulty concentrating, and a constant sense of being on guard. Others notice emotional numbness, irritability, bursts of anger, shame, difficulty trusting others, or avoiding certain places, people, or situations because they no longer feel safe. Some experience physical signs as well, such as tension, headaches, stomach discomfort, or a sense of disconnection from their own bodies.

Whether your experience comes from a single overwhelming event or long-term emotional pain, I offer a trauma-informed space where we move at your pace. Through narrative therapy, somatic awareness, and grounding practices—often supported by nature—we work gently with these symptoms to rebuild safety, trust, and connection. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means understanding your nervous system, reclaiming your story, and reconnecting with your power.

Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety
Anxiety might show up as constant worrying, feeling tense or on edge, trouble focusing, or difficulty sleeping. It can feel like your mind is always scanning for what could go wrong, or your body is bracing for something you cannot quite name. Together, we slow things down, listen closely to what your system is trying to communicate, and support you in building more internal space and steadiness.

Depression
Depression can appear as low energy, feeling disconnected, losing interest in things you usually enjoy, or struggling to move through the day. It often brings a sense of heaviness, numbness, or disorientation about what once felt meaningful. In our work, we honor the wisdom in these signals and begin to gently re-engage with what nurtures vitality and connection.

Supporting Both Together
Many people experience anxiety and depression at the same time, and the combination can feel confusing or contradictory. Our work explores how these experiences interact, what they may be protecting you from, and how to respond with compassion rather than pressure or judgment. Together, we create a grounded, supportive space where you can reconnect with clarity, agency, and a renewed sense of self.
