Grief and Loss

Grief, I say, come in. Sit down. I have tea. There is honey. This will take as long as it takes.

 – This Hallowed Wilderness

Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no one right way to move through it. The weight of painful loss can feel overwhelming, whether it stems from the death of a loved one, changes in your health, or the life you once knew or imagined for yourself.

Grief therapy provides a compassionate space where you can express your feelings, however they show up, and begin to make sense of the shifts in your world. I am here to honor your unique journey of loss, offering the space and time for healing to unfold and for hope of gentler days to gradually take root.

Depression

Do you wake up each day with no energy, wanting nothing more than to crawl back into bed? Are simple tasks like laundry, grocery shopping, or even basic self-care overwhelming? You may feel disconnected, unable to focus, and distant from even your favorite people—leading to guilt and negative thoughts that tell you you’re failing yourself and everyone around you.

Depression can feel like an “emotional flu,” weighing you down and draining you completely. But unlike the physical flu, rest alone won’t make it go away. In fact, withdrawing from life can deepen your loneliness and sense of disconnection. Yet, even when finding the energy to move forward feels impossible, there is hope.

As your therapist, I will provide a compassionate, secure space for you to share your pain – a release valve for the pressure you’ve been carrying. Using evidenced-based methods, we’ll explore the roots of your feelings and work to reshape unhelpful thoughts and relationship patterns. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths, support your emotional needs, and work towards what matters most to you. This process will help you rebuild a sense of control and connection, offering a path toward hope and a life that feels more like your own.

You don’t have to face depression alone. I’ll be by your side as you work toward reclaiming your life and moving toward a brighter future.

Anxiety

Are you constantly feeling on edge, overwhelmed, or as though your mind won’t stop racing? Do you find yourself worrying excessively about things that may seem minor to others but feel monumental to you? Are you avoiding certain situations because of fear or dread, or feeling like your thoughts spiral out of control no matter how hard you try to manage them? Anxiety can make everyday tasks – like going to work, interacting with friends and family, or simply getting through the day – feel daunting. It can cause physical symptoms too, like a racing heart, tension, and trouble sleeping. Warding off constant anxiety can be quite exhausting!

If these feelings sound familiar, therapy can help. Together, we’ll explore well-researched strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and supportive techniques such as mindfulness, deep breathing, and relaxation exercises. These approaches can help you learn to manage and reduce the symptoms of anxiety, giving you tools to break free from the cycle of fear and stress.

You don’t have to face this alone. I will guide you through the anxious moments, helping you build resilience and develop practical strategies to move toward a calmer, more grounded existence. Through therapy, you’ll begin to find relief, take a deep breath, and regain a sense of control over your life. With support, you can take meaningful steps toward a life where anxiety doesn’t have the final say.
