HOW I CAN HELP
Grief & Loss Therapy
in Nashville, TN
There is no right way to grieve. And there is no timeline.
Either way, your world shifted and nothing feels the same.
You're functioning, showing up, checking the boxes, but inside you feel hollow.
And every time someone tells you "they're in a better place" or "everything happens for a reason," you want to scream.
You're not losing your mind. You're grieving. And that is so normal.
Someone you love died.
Or maybe the loss isn't the kind people send flowers for.
The losses nobody
talks about
When I say I specialize in grief, I don't just mean bereavement, though that's a significant part of my work. I mean all of the losses that leave people feeling untethered.
Grief can come from:
The death of a spouse, parent, child, sibling, or friend
The end of a marriage or long-term relationship
A health diagnosis that changed everything
Becoming a caregiver and losing the life you had before
The empty nest and the identity shift that comes with it
Childhood trauma, neglect, or growing up without the safety you deserved
Infertility, miscarriage, or the loss of the family you imagined
Estrangement from a family member
Retirement, job loss, or the end of a career that defined you
These losses are real. They deserve to be grieved, not minimized, and not rushed.
When someone comes to me grieving, I don't hand them a worksheet about the five stages. I start with: "Tell me about them." Or "Tell me about what you lost."
Because your story matters. The details matter. The way their laugh sounded. The way your life looked before. The thing you miss most that nobody else would even think of. I want to hear all of it.
From there, we work together to help you make sense of what your life looks like now. I'll normalize what you're feeling, because most of it is far more common than you think. I'll help you understand your nervous system's response to loss. And I'll walk alongside you as you learn to live with your new normal, not "get over it," because that was never a realistic goal.
I bring both professional training and deeply personal experience to grief work. I lost my son, and that loss reshaped every part of my life and my practice. It gave me a compassion for grieving people that goes beyond clinical understanding. When I sit with you in your pain, I'm not performing empathy. I mean it.
I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit, and I've seen that resiliency up close, in my clients and in myself.
