This loss knocked the wind out of you. You tell the world “I’m fine” but there is a part of you that knows you’re not. Intense sorrow invades everything you do. The stress to get through, to be strong, to not let others down, is immense—you're exhausted. Just last week you felt some relief for a brief moment, a flash of hope. Just as quickly it dissolved and you’re preoccupied with searing bleakness—again. It’s not too much to want a break from this unwanted & relentless heartache, and find a place of emotional rest. It’s not too much to really know that this will end & that there is a way in and through. Trust that you can do this.
There is a way forward. I can help you develop the coping tools, energy and resourcefulness needed to reduce the destabilizing pain of loss. Together, we’ll gently process & integrate the complicated emotions and life changes you now face in a safe, peaceful and supportive space. You don’t have to feel so alone trying to right the ship—soloing is overrated.
Rediscover increased integrity, composure, and stamina, and the spirit needed to face your circumstances with steadiness and poise. Find a safe and durable vantage point from which to build a strong emotional foundation. You deserve more balance and less pain. Email me to schedule an initial phone call—there really is a lighter place and you can find it.

I don't take insurance. Insurance companies need to keep their spending and reimbursement to a minimum and often see you as just a number in a business transaction, which feels counter-therapeutic. I am a one-person operation and choose to focus my full energy on my clients.
