Grief, Healing, and the Quiet Work of Coming Back to Ourselves

Grief isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s quiet—woven into your mornings, your body, your relationships. Sometimes it doesn’t look like grief at all. It looks like burnout. Disconnection. Anger. Numbness. Or a deep sense of being lost.

I’ve come to believe that grief is not just about death—it’s about change, rupture, and the pain of living in a world that doesn’t always make space for what we’ve lost.

I see grief in breakups and divorce. In the ache of estrangement. In the invisible weight of parenting after loss. In the nervous system after trauma. In the slow mourning of a self we no longer recognize.
And I see how powerful it can be to have a place where that grief is allowed to exist.

A Bit About Me

I grew up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, where the landscape still shapes my sense of rhythm and rest. I'm a parent, a partner, and someone who has walked through my own seasons of loss and rebuilding. I know what it’s like to feel like the ground has shifted beneath you—and to wonder how you’ll ever feel steady again.

In my work as a therapist, I bring together years of clinical training with something more personal: a deep respect for the messy, beautiful, nonlinear work of healing. I’m trained in somatic therapy, art therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, and I’m especially passionate about supporting people navigating grief, relational wounds, and life transitions.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me sewing, painting, weaving, or making something with my hands. Creativity has always been how I process the world—and I invite my clients into their own creative ways of making meaning, too (no art skills required).

Who I Work With

I work with adults navigating:

  • Grief after death (including perinatal loss and complex family grief)

  • Breakups, divorce, and relational pain

  • Estrangement or the slow grief of disconnection

  • Trauma recovery, including grief following sexual violence

  • Parenting transitions, identity loss, and burnout

  • Neurodivergence, sensitivity, and emotional overwhelm

I offer a space where you can be messy, unfinished, tender, and still held. A space for both the ache and the hope.

My Approach

You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t have to be “over it” by now. I work at your pace, drawing on somatic regulation, creative expression, and trauma-informed conversation to help your nervous system feel safer and your story feel more whole.

Grief is not something we fix—it’s something we move with. And you don’t have to move through it alone.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect. I offer both virtual and in-person sessions, a free 20-minute consultation, and a sliding scale for those who need it. Reach out when you're ready—I’ll be here.
