[Home](/) 2. Specialties 3. Grief & Loss Specialty · Grief & Loss # Grief takes many shapes. Loss of a person, a pet, a job, a relationship, an identity, a version of yourself you'd grown into — all forms of grief deserve space. ![Anticipated Grief](/topic-grief.jpg) ## Anticipated Grief The mourning that begins before the loss does — terminal diagnosis, decline of a parent, a relationship visibly ending. The body grieves on two timelines at once: what is and what's coming. ![Complicated Grief](/topic-heritage.jpg) ## Complicated Grief When grief gets tangled with relational complexity — ambivalence, unfinished business, estrangement, the death of someone who hurt you. The mourning is real and so is the ambivalence; both deserve space. ![Traumatic Grief](/topic-betrayal.jpg) ## Traumatic Grief Sudden, violent, or shocking loss that leaves the nervous system stuck in the moment of impact. Here grief and trauma braid together, and the work has to address both layers. The work I do with grief is humanist, not prescriptive. There's no five-stages model and no calendar that tells you when you should be 'better.' Grief is the long process of metabolizing a loss that has changed the shape of your life — and the only honest pace is the one your particular grief actually moves at. We sit with what was lost, what remains, and what's slowly becoming. Some sessions are tears. Some are stories. Some are long silences. Some are anger at the unfairness of it. All of it counts as the work. "Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is a love that has lost its object — and the work is finding what to do with that love." Losses we work with Partner death, parent death, child death, sibling death, friend death, pet death, miscarriage, abortion, job loss, marriage end, career end, identity shift, health loss, ability loss, place and home loss, friendship loss, dream loss, faith loss, and the loss of a future self you had imagined into being. $175 per 50-min session · Sliding scale available· Bilingual EN/ES Questions ## Common questions. ### Do you follow the five stages of grief? ### What if my loss happened years ago? ### Can grief work happen alongside other therapy? ### What if I don't cry?
