Grief and Loss

Losing a pregnancy, infant, or child isn't “supposed” to be part of the natural rhythm of life. And yet, it is all too common, impacting 1 in 4 pregnancies in the United States. Whether your loss was due to miscarriage, termination, stillbirth, or an accident, losing a child is a gut-wrenching, life-altering experience. There is no loss quite like the loss of a child, a future, a dream, and a hope. I understand that grief is a deeply personal and unpredictable journey that varies for each individual and I am here to sit with you in the despair, the anguish, the glimmers of joy, and support your journey as you grapple with this unimaginably complex, entangled loss and find your way to a "new normal" or a "life after loss."

Grief and loss are shared experiences that impact everyone, yet our society often struggles with navigating them effectively. The intense emotions accompanying grief, including sadness, anger, denial, and shock, can be unsettling for others, and well-intentioned statements may inadvertently cause more harm than good. As someone navigating grief, you might find yourself tending to others despite being in the midst of your own loss. It's a complex situation, but I'm here to support you.

Some of us are "action grievers," immersing ourselves in work or activities, while others are "feeling grievers," grappling with a myriad of emotions and finding it challenging to resume daily life. Regardless of your unique process of grieving, moving forward and reconnecting with life as it once was can be a formidable challenge. I'm here to walk beside you on your journey, providing a compassionate space for you to navigate the complexity of your grief  with someone who truly understands, won't rush you, won't share well-intentioned but hurtful platitudes, and can guide you on your healing journey.
