50 minutes weekly to start. If you need more time to process what's coming up, 90-minute sessions are also available.

We work at your pace. Some weeks are about survival. Some weeks are about processing. We follow what you need.

That would be completely normal! One thing I know for sure is that grief will show up differently for you each week. There may be weeks you might cry the entire session. Sometimes you'll feel numb or angry. The beautiful thing here is there’s no "right way" to use our time together. Whatever you're feeling in that moment is exactly what we'll work with. And just to reassure you a bit more: crying is processing. It's actually one of the ways your body can release stress and help you move through grief.

That's normal too. Some people in grief feel numb, shut down, or completely disconnected from their emotions. This doesn't mean you're not grieving or that something is wrong with you. Numbness is one of the ways your brain and body protect you from being overwhelmed. We'll work with whatever shows up, tears, numbness, anger, or nothing at all. It’s all welcome here.

Sometimes I might suggest thought experiments or journaling between sessions, but only if that works for you. This isn't about adding more to your plate.

Yes! I see clients in-person in Portland and online throughout Oregon. If getting yourself dressed and out the door feels like too huge of an undertaking, we can meet online. For some, getting out of the house is a welcome reprieve, a place to grieve away from those you are attempting to care for.
