Grief & Loss
Working with me on grief and loss is a compassionate, patient, and deeply personal process.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate traumatic and unexpected losses, as well as grief that lingers from the past. As a Certified Grief Counselor, I understand the complex emotions that come with grief—feelings of loss, longing, confusion, and fear—and I provide both the stability to hold those emotions and the tools to help you move through them.
Grief isn’t a problem to be solved, but an experience to navigate with care. Together, we’ll work at your pace, identifying the barriers that make grief feel stuck and exploring practical ways to tend to your emotions, body, and mind. I offer concrete strategies to help you regulate overwhelming feelings, process your loss in meaningful ways, and find steadiness in the midst of uncertainty.
Through our work, many clients discover new strength, bravery, and tenderness, even in the face of profound loss. My goal is to help you not just endure grief, but to engage with it in a way that fosters resilience, self-compassion, and, ultimately, a renewed connection to life.

What is body image coaching, and how is it different from therapy?Body image coaching focuses on shifting your relationship with your body through reflection, nervous system support, and mindset work. While therapy explores deeper emotional wounds and past trauma, coaching is often more present-focused, helping you build a more peaceful, accepting connection with your body.
-
Do I have to want to lose weight to benefit from body image coaching?Not at all. My approach is rooted in body neutrality and Health at Every Size (HAES). We focus on how you feel in your body, rather than changing it, so you can move through life with greater ease and confidence.
-
Can body image coaching help with disordered eating or eating disorders?While I can support those struggling with body image, if you have an active eating disorder, a therapist or dietitian specializing in eating disorders is a better fit. Coaching can be a valuable complement to therapy once you're in sustained recovery.
-
What if I’ve struggled with body image for years—can coaching still help?Yes. Many clients have battled body image issues for decades. Change is possible at any stage, and coaching provides practical tools to help you unlearn harmful beliefs and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with your body

How do I know if body image coaching is right for me?If you feel exhausted by negative body thoughts, avoid certain activities because of your appearance, want to develop a more peaceful mindset around food and movement, coaching can be a supportive and transformative process.
