Grief Support

A Space to Be With What Is

Grief is not a problem to solve.
It is a profound human experience to be witnessed.

Grief arrives in many forms — the death of a loved one, a diagnosis, a divorce, estrangement, a shifting identity, climate anxiety, political rupture, anticipatory loss, or the subtle ache of becoming someone new. Sometimes grief is sharp and visible. Sometimes it is quiet and disorienting. Often it is both.

In a culture that rushes toward resolution, grief can feel lonely.

This is a place where it does not have to be.

1:1 Sessions

Grief support is about creating a steady, compassionate container where your experience can unfold at its own pace.

Our work may include:

  • Naming and normalizing the emotional landscape of grief

  • Tending to shock, numbness, anger, guilt, or despair

  • Exploring unfinished conversations or relational wounds

  • Supporting anticipatory grief before a death

  • Integrating loss into your ongoing life story

  • Regulating the nervous system when grief feels overwhelming

  • Creating rituals or practices that honor what has changed

I draw from depth psychology, somatic awareness, spiritual counseling, and my training as a full-spectrum death doula. The emphasis is presence over performance. Relationship over technique. Witnessing over advice.

How We Work Together

Sessions are one-on-one and tailored to your specific experience. Some clients come weekly for a period of deep processing. Others come seasonally, or during acute phases of loss.

We move gently. We move honestly. We move at your pace.

Grief is not something to get over. It is something to metabolize. To be integrated. To be held with dignity.

My Orientation to Grief

I understand grief as a reflection of love.
Where there is grief, there has been connection.

Rather than pathologizing grief, I approach it as a sacred and intelligent response to change. Together we cultivate resilience not by hardening, but by increasing your capacity to stay present with tenderness.

Grief does not mean something is wrong.
It means something mattered.

Begin

If you are carrying loss — recent or long-ago — you are welcome here.

You do not have to carry it alone.

My work with Katie has been nothing short of transformative. I have been struggling to process loss and understand grief and all its complexities for a few years, and my body shut down last Fall. I was holding too much.  

Katie is the salve that my soul needed. She has this rare and beautiful gift of tenderly opening you up and providing space to feel seen, understood, met, and fully supported. Her sensitive and empathic nature makes me feel safe and comfortable sharing some of my most vulnerable and repressed parts. Being witnessed and comforted from this place has provided tremendous healing.

Each time we lovingly traverse my inner landscape, some new piece of me cracks open, and there is this powerful release. The places in my body and heart that previously felt locked and shut down now feel more open, honored, and loved. It feels like this alchemization process that I would never have been able to reach without her guidance. I feel held in a way I didn't know was possible, and a fuller and more open me is emerging. Our work together has been life-shaping, and I am so grateful! Katie is a true blessing.
