When the story you imagined for your baby changes, your whole world does too.
Counseling for Grief & Loss
The heart behind my work…
My understanding of grief is not only professional, it’s personal. I know the heartbreak of losing a child. My daughter Meredith’s life was brief but beautiful, and her death following complications from a severe congenital heart defect changed everything I thought I knew about love, hope, and healing.
Walking through that loss taught me that grief isn’t something to “get over.” It becomes part of who you are, woven into your story in both tender and painful ways. Over time, I learned that healing can coexist with heartbreak, and that connection, compassion, and meaning can still grow in the spaces where loss once lived.
It’s from that place of knowing, both as a mother and as a counselor, that I sit with others in their own grief. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need a space where your story, your person, and your love are honored.
I’m here to help with…
-
The loss of a pregnancy or baby brings a kind of grief that’s often unseen by others but felt deeply in every part of you. Whether your loss was recent or years ago, therapy offers a space to honor your baby, process the pain, and begin to reconnect with yourself and your hope for the future.
-
Grief after losing someone close to you can feel isolating and unpredictable. You may find yourself caught between missing them and trying to keep moving forward. Together, we can help you make sense of the waves of emotion, hold onto the love that remains, and find ways to live meaningfully again.
-
Sometimes grief begins long before a loss, or lingers in ways that feel hard to move through. You might be preparing for the loss of someone you love, or noticing that your grief feels stuck or overwhelming. Therapy provides gentle guidance for processing these complex emotions and finding your own pace toward healing.

Not all grief comes from death—sometimes it’s the loss of a role, relationship, or version of yourself. Major life changes can bring a quiet ache for what once was. In counseling, we’ll explore these shifts with compassion and help you find stability and meaning in the new chapters ahead.
-
When someone you love is grieving, it can be hard to know how to help while managing your own emotions. Therapy can offer language, tools, and perspective to support your family through loss—so no one has to navigate their pain alone.
I hope that you will remember this:
No matter where you are in the grieving process, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
