About

People usually arrive at a first session expecting something formal, and are a little thrown when it turns out to be a conversation. No clipboard of symptoms, no rush to diagnose your sadness. We start wherever the loss is loudest for you today. The loss of a loved one rewrites your daily life in a hundred small ways nobody sees, and those small ways are exactly what we talk about here. The empty seat at dinner. The half-finished text you cannot send. The friends who went quiet because they did not know what to say. We make sense of it together, at whatever pace your grief actually keeps, not the pace other people wish it would. Nearly everyone who sits with me came because a friend or a former client pointed them here, which is the only kind of advertising I trust. I am easy to talk to and impossible to shock. If you have been carrying this mostly alone and would like some company for it, send me a message and tell me a little about the person you lost.
