No One Should Have To Grieve Alone

Grief is overwhelming, but healing is possible.
You don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

What is Grief Counseling?

Grieving the death of someone close to you is deeply personal—and often isolating. Whether it happened recently or years ago, whether it was sudden or expected, you deserve space to grieve, remember, rage, cry, laugh, and heal. That’s what we do here.

You may be struggling to sleep, finding it hard to concentrate, or feeling like you’re just “going through the motions.” Maybe others think you should be “moving on,” but you’re still hurting: confused, angry, or numb.

Grief counseling offers a place to:

  • Talk openly about the person you lost

  • Make sense of the storm of emotions (or lack of emotions) you’re feeling

  • Rebuild your life in a way that honors your love and your loss

  • Find steady ground in a world that no longer feels safe or familiar

Who I help

I support adults and children grieving the death of:

  • A spouse or partner

  • A parent or sibling

  • A child

  • A close friend or chosen family member

Whether your grief is brand new or years old, you are welcome here.

My Approach:

Grief isn’t a problem to solve—it’s a process to move through, in your own way and time. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space for you to bring your full experience. Together, we’ll explore what healing might look like—not to forget, but to carry your love forward with meaning and care.

How Can I Support You?

 

Adult Grief

Grieving a death can feel isolating and overwhelming. You don’t have to do it alone—support is here when you're ready to talk.

Children’s Grief

When a child loses someone they love, they need space to feel, ask, and heal. Compassionate grief support helps them through.

Workplace Grief

Loss affects every part of life—including work. Grief support helps employees navigate mourning without having to hide their pain.

Here’s why grief counseling can be a helpful and valuable experience…

 

“When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”

— Fred Rogers

“Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve.”

— Earl Grollman

For two decades, I have specialized in bereavement counseling for adults and children. I have created magic and given the experience of “I’m not alone” to people from age 3 to 73 (and older!). I have worked with hundreds of children at Comfort Zone Camp, the nation’s largest bereavement camp for children. My experience has also included adult support groups at the United Hospice of Rockland and Healing Hearts children’s grief groups as well.
