Grief and Loss Therapy in New York, NY
Your grief won’t scare me, it isn’t a burden, and I won’t dismiss it as trivial. I have worked with patients grieving children, parents, siblings, spouses, friends, careers, and pets. If you’re ready to wade into that pain, I’d be honored to sit with you in it and guide you, as needed.
I have experienced many losses and greatly enjoy using my experiences and professional studies to help others through the process. Studies show that grieving imposes a task: to make meaning of our suffering.

Studies also show that grieving initially causes deficits: people’s productivity at work dwindles, their health suffers, etc. But if people allow themselves to work through their grief, they actually grow from it (similar to the concept of post-traumatic growth). We have evolved to experience loss and to be able to survive it.
