Grief Therapy & Bereavement
Grief Changes More Than You Expect
Grief is more than sadness. It reshapes your world. Routines shift, relationships change, and your sense of identity can feel uncertain.
You may be grieving the loss of someone close, facing the gradual decline of a loved one, or navigating a loss that others do not fully recognize, such as a relationship, career, or identity.
Whatever brought you here, you do not have to go through it alone.
Going Deeper Than Coping
Many approaches focus on managing grief day to day. That matters, but this work goes further.
Insight oriented grief therapy helps you understand what your loss is bringing up and why. Grief often reveals deeper patterns, including past relationships, unresolved emotions, and long held beliefs.
This is not about getting over it. It is about integrating your loss into a life that still holds meaning and direction.
What I Bring to This Work
Grief is a core focus of my practice. I have spent years working in hospice and bereavement care, supporting individuals and families through profound loss.
That experience shapes how I approach therapy today, with depth, patience, and respect for your process. Grief is not something to fix. It is something to understand.
Who This Is For
I work with adults experiencing:
• Loss of a parent, partner, sibling, child, or close friend
• Anticipatory grief related to illness or cognitive decline
• Complicated or prolonged grief
• Non death losses such as divorce, career shifts, or identity changes
• Disenfranchised grief that others may not fully recognize
This work can be especially helpful for individuals who tend to push through difficult emotions rather than process them.
What to Expect
We begin with an initial session to understand your experience and what you need right now.
Sessions are typically scheduled weekly at the start, with flexibility as you make progress.
Appointments are available in person in Streeterville or through secure telehealth across Illinois.
Take the First Step
You do not need to have everything figured out. You only need to be willing to begin.
