We often hear “if I let myself grieve, I’d never find my way out.”

What if grief wasn’t something you had to conquer, fix, or get through as quickly as possible. What would it be like if you had a place where what happened could be fully acknowledged, where the love, anger, sadness, relief, confusion, longing, or even numbness could exist without needing to be explained away?

Grief changes you.
It unravels your sense of self, meaning, and direction, and dumps you in a life that is nothing like the one you knew. But the birds still fly, and the sun still rises, and those around you go about their day unaware that someone is gone and the very fabric of existence has changed.

The world keeps functioning when yours has stopped making sense.
You might have felt the push to “move on” or to return to normal. Would that you could! But what is normal? Grief is unpredictable. It doesn’t follow a map or move through neat stages. It smacks you down in the grocery store, it has you overworking or sleeping on the couch. It impacts your body and mind in ways that are hard to put into words.

We make space for the absence that reaches into your everyday rhythms of life in ways others may not always be available for or understand.
Our work is not about getting you back to who you were. It is about understanding who you have lost, making room for what has happened, and helping you discover how to live. Death has changed the landscape of your life, and therapy can be a quiet place where you don't have to pretend otherwise. Here, you are not alone. We understand both how deeply you want the pain to ease and how much this loss has changed you.

The Work We Do

We work with people grieving the death of someone they love: a parent, child, sibling, spouse or partner, family member, close friend, or a beloved pat. We also understand that loss does not always begin at the moment of death. Sometimes grief begins while someone you love is dying, as you begin to feel the shape of loss even before they are gone.
