If you’re considering in-person therapy, I want to make sure you know that this is a safe, supportive space where we can take the time to explore what you're going through. Grief and trauma are both incredibly complex and can impact each other in ways that make things feel even heavier. Trauma can make grief feel more intense, and grief can sometimes bring up old wounds from past trauma, creating a cycle that can feel hard to break. Being in-person allows us to work together more closely, where I can really be present with you, and you can feel heard and understood in real time.

We’ll start with an initial consultation where I’ll take time to get to know you and hear about what’s going on in your life. This is a chance for you to share what you're experiencing—whether that’s grief from a recent loss, long-term grief, or the trauma that has shaped your experience. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions and get a feel for how I work. The goal here is to make sure we’re creating a space where you feel comfortable and ready to open up. The first few sessions will be about building trust and making sure you feel safe and supported, which is really important for the deeper work that comes later.

As we continue, we’ll start to unpack how grief and trauma are showing up for you. I know that grief doesn’t just go away, and trauma can stay with you in ways you may not even realize—whether that’s through physical symptoms, emotional numbness, or feeling like you’re stuck in patterns that keep you from moving forward. We’ll take our time to explore how these experiences are affecting you in the present and how they might be connected to past pain.

As we build on this understanding, we’ll shift toward finding practical ways to help you cope with the everyday challenges that come with grief and trauma. Healing is not about "getting over it," but about learning to live with it, and not letting it define you. Together, we’ll explore ways to carry the weight of your grief and trauma, while finding new ways to move forward and reconnect with yourself and others in a healthier, more balanced way.

Throughout this process, I’ll always be there to walk beside you. In-person therapy offers the chance for us to really connect, which can be so important when you’re dealing with difficult emotions. It’s about building a relationship where you feel seen, heard, and supported, and where we can work through things at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here to guide you through it, providing the space, support, and tools to help you move forward—when you’re ready.
