Grief and Bereavement Specialist

–

Grief is universal yet utterly unique. Grieving is the biological response to painful and complex life experiences. Do you feel forgetful, scattered, angry, detached, numb, guilty, overwhelmed? These are just a few common grief responses. Whatever you are feeling is authentic to you; it is all real and ok. You are accepted as you are, however you are, in every moment that you are. I believe there is no linear path or timeline to grief, we carry it throughout our entire lives and how we carry it matters. Do people feel it is “time for you to move on” or know what you “should do or feel?” Even well intentioned friends and family can say hurtful things with our society’s limited understanding of how the grieving process works. 

My main goal in working with clients in therapy is to help the client move through loss and reduce unnecessary suffering when possible. You know yourself best and it would be my honor and privilege to be fully present and listen to your personal journey. You are not alone. Working with clients to find purpose and meaning for difficult life experiences is a treasured component of my practice. Whether you are experiencing loss, depression, anxiety, transition periods, or are simply stuck and needing some reinvigoration, I am here for you. I work with adolescents, teens, and adults of all ages. 

I maintain a judgment free, trauma-informed care environment. Your physical and emotional safety is critically important. All are welcome and worthy of care, compassion, and respect. It is courageous to allow vulnerability to be seen and I appreciate your willingness to deepen your connection with yourself and thereby others. If you are looking for a companion, someone to sit with and work through your pain, please call me at 314.325.6396 for a free 15 minute consultation or to schedule an appointment. I offer in-person and virtual counseling sessions of 50 to 60 minutes for individuals, minimum 90 minutes for couples. I am not currently in a network with insurance providers. A superbill can be provided upon request. 

Session Rate: Individuals $150 & Couples/90 Minutes- $225
