Grief therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to help individuals process the emotional, physical, and cognitive impact of loss. Unlike general therapy, grief therapy focuses specifically on the unique challenges of mourning — helping you understand your grief, develop tools to manage overwhelming emotions, and gradually integrate your loss into a meaningful life.

Grief extends far beyond the death of a loved one. I work with clients navigating many forms of loss, including the death of a family member, friend, or partner; terminal illness and anticipatory grief; suicide loss; pregnancy and reproductive loss; caregiver burnout and grief; divorce and relationship loss; job loss and career transitions; and the loss of health following a serious diagnosis.

You may benefit from grief therapy if you are experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, or anger that interferes with daily life; difficulty sleeping or concentrating; feeling isolated or that no one understands what you are going through; a sense that your grief is "stuck" or not moving; guilt or regret surrounding your loss; or simply a need for a safe, non-judgmental space to process your pain. You do not need to be in crisis to seek support — reaching out early is a sign of strength, not weakness.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I blend models of grief therapy with tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together we will work to understand your grief, manage overwhelming emotions, build self-compassion, and align your life with your values — so you can find peace and meaning even in the midst of loss.

Yes. I offer both in-person sessions at my Boulder, Colorado office and telehealth sessions for clients located anywhere in Colorado. Telehealth sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.

My office is located at 1650 38th Street, Suite 100E, Boulder, CO 80301. I serve clients throughout the Boulder area, including Longmont, Lafayette, Louisville, Broomfield, and the greater Denver metro area. Colorado residents statewide are welcome via telehealth option

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We will talk about what brings you to therapy, your history with loss, and what you are hoping to gain from our work together. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with. My goal is simply to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard and understood.

Grief is not a linear process and there is no set timeline. Some clients find significant relief in a focused short-term engagement of 8 to 12 sessions. Others prefer ongoing support over a longer period. We will work together to determine a pace and duration that feels right for you.

Support groups offer community, shared experience, and the comfort of knowing you are not alone — and they can be enormously valuable. I actually facilitate grief support groups in the Boulder community. Individual grief therapy offers something complementary: a private, personalized space to go deeper into your specific experience, develop tailored coping strategies, and work through the unique dimensions of your loss.
