Grief + Loss

'Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.'

- Naomi Shihab Nye

 

Grief is our human response to loss, and we can experience it through death, loss of relationship, shifts in identity, ecological grief, career changes, or loss of an anticipated future. The law of nature is impermanence, which means we are constantly invited to adapt to change; in minute and monumental ways. Even though navigating emotional landscapes as we sit with loss can be complex and overwhelming, I believe grief can act as a medicine; an expansive offering towards healing. All feelings towards our losses are valid. Processing grief in therapy can allow space to make meaning of your loss, whatever form it takes. Dedicated to holistic wellbeing, I am here to accompany people alongside their

grief, knowing that even though it is deeply personal and private; it’s also a universal experience we can lean into collectively; where solidarity and connection meet.

Emotional + Relational Understanding

 

'Make small steps. In this wild place there are signs of life everywhere.'

- Ashley M. Jones

 

Navigating and putting language to our emotions can be confusing and overwhelming. With curiosity, our

time together is dedicated to understanding your needs and making meaning from your values. This way,

we can notice and hold space for your emotional experience. Using philosophical principles, creativity-led

and mindfulness-based practices, I draw on IFS and EMDR to make room for all the parts seeking attention for a deeper sense of self-understanding. In our longing for connection and belonging, there can be difficult dynamics within our friendships, relationships and families. Through deeper understanding of

our self, we can be present with others and communicate our needs with authenticity and kindness.
