Grief is a portal
Grief Changes Everything — And It’s a Portal to Deeper Living
- For women and couples navigating loss, transition, or rupture -
There’s no tidy way to grieve. No single path. No set of perfect words that can explain the ache of losing something, or someone, you love.
Grief doesn’t ask for performance. It asks for presence. It asks for room. It asks to be felt.
But so often, we’re taught to fix it. To get over it. To power through. We’re praised for being “strong,” for holding it together, for moving on quickly. And yet, grief lingers. It lives in the body, in the breath, in those quiet moments when the world keeps turning but your inner world has shifted forever.
Maybe you’re here because something has ended: a relationship, a role, a dream, a person. Maybe you’re navigating the invisible losses, the “should-haves,” the life you thought you’d have, the identity that no longer fits.
You’re not broken. You’re not too much. You’re grieving.
And grief is not the end of the story. It’s a threshold.
The Truth About Grief
(That No One Tells Us)
Grief is not a problem to be solved. It’s a process to be tended. It’s nonlinear. Inconvenient. Messy. Sacred.
You might feel angry one day and numb the next. You might find yourself laughing at something beautiful, then crying in the grocery store without warning. This isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you. It’s love, trying to find a new way to live in your system.
Grief changes us. It’s not about “getting back to normal.” It’s about integrating what has been lost into the new shape of who we’re becoming.
And that integration requires space, support, and deep compassion. Not just from others, but from ourselves.
If you’re in the Middle of it…
You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to be “handling it well.” You don’t need to explain or justify the heaviness in your chest.
You just need a safe space to feel. To not be rushed. To be met exactly where you are.
In my work with women and couples, I hold space for the full expression of grief: the parts that are tender, raw, confusing, sacred. Whether you’re walking through death loss, divorce, betrayal, transition, or deep emotional rupture, your pain deserves to be witnessed, not minimized.
Together, we explore what it means to live with loss while still honoring life. To let grief shape you, not shatter you. To create space for hope without bypassing the hurt.
Grief Is Also a Portal
It’s a portal to truth. To depth. To connection.
It can awaken parts of you that were buried. It can soften the armor you once had to wear. It can strip away what isn’t real and leave you with what actually matters.
Grief can teach us how to feel again. To love more honestly. To show up more fully. To live more meaningfully.
But only when we stop trying to fix it, and start learning how to feel it.
Why this work is personal to me
I understand this not just from training, but from lived experience. In 2012, my parents were in a tragic accident that changed everything. That loss shattered my world, and became a turning point in how I began to relate to grief, healing, and the parts of ourselves we’re forced to leave behind. I’ve grieved the loss of loved ones, and I’ve also grieved former versions of myself, identities I had to outgrow, and the life I once thought I’d have.
This work is deeply personal to me. Because I know that grief isn’t just about death. It’s about change, rupture, and becoming. And I also know that when we allow ourselves to feel it fully, with support, intention, and care, grief can open us. It can deepen us. It can even become a doorway to more honest love, more grounded self-trust, and more meaningful living.
You don’t have to go through it alone
Whether you’re grieving someone, something, or some part of yourself, your experience is real. Your pain is valid. And there is support.
In therapy, we don’t rush the process. We don’t tie it up in a bow. Instead, we move slowly, kindly, and intentionally, so you can grieve in your own timing, in your own way.
I help women and couples make sense of the emotional landscape of grief while also honoring the sacredness within it. You don’t have to choose between healing and remembering. You don’t have to feel better to begin again.
You just have to begin.
You don’t have to carry this alone. Let’s walk through it together.
