Grief doesn’t move in a straight line. Some days you may feel functional, and other days the weight of loss hits without warning. If you’ve lost a loved one, partner, or close friend, you might feel stuck in waves of sadness, guilt, anger, or numbness. With PTSD, memories can intrude when you least expect them, disrupting sleep, concentration, and your sense of safety. Over time, it can feel like life kept moving forward while you were left behind, carrying pain no one else can see.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating grief, loss, and PTSD, and I bring years of experience helping people process trauma in a way that feels safe, steady, and deeply respectful of their story. My approach is grounded in compassion, patience, and understanding that healing doesn’t mean forgetting it means learning how to live again.
If you’re tired of holding this alone and want support that truly understands the depth of what you’ve been through, email me today to schedule your first session. This is your invitation to be seen, supported, and guided toward relief and peace. I'm Lene and I would love to help you on your mental health journey! Reach out today for a same day appointment!
