Grief

Losing someone you love can turn your whole world upside down. Grief can look like sadness, but it can also look like anger, guilt, numbness, trouble focusing, or just feeling tired all the time. And it doesn't follow a neat schedule.

​

Kids grieve differently than adults. A child might seem fine one minute and fall apart the next, act out, worry about losing someone else, or ask the same questions again and again. Teens often hold it in so they don't burden anyone. All of that is normal.

​

How I help

There's no rushing grief and no "getting over it." Together we make room for the loss, find ways to carry it, and keep the connection to the person who died. With kids, that often means drawing, making things, and play alongside talking, because some feelings are easier to show than to say.

​

I also support grief that doesn't always get recognized: losing a grandparent, a friend, a pet, or a family changing through divorce or a move.

​

For families

When a family is grieving, parents are often trying to hold everyone else up while hurting themselves. I can help you know what to say to your kids, what to expect, and how to take care of yourself in it too.

​

For adults

Grief can hit just as hard as an adult: losing a parent, a partner, a friend, or a pregnancy, or caring for someone who is dying. I offer a steady place to talk about the person you lost, and the parts of grief that feel hard to say anywhere else.

Getting started

I work with kids from age 6, teens, and adults, in person in Milton or by telehealth, with morning, evening, and Sunday times. It starts with a free 30-minute call with me, whenever you're ready.
