therapy
grief and loss
A gentle place for the grieving to land.
Based in Kansas City, Missouri
your grief is real, valid, and
worthy of space.
Grief isn’t just about losing someone. It’s about losing something that mattered deeply. It can be the loss of a loved one or a pet, the unraveling of a relationship, a career change that shook your identity, or even the grief that comes with major life transitions. Sometimes, it’s a mourning for the person you used to be or the future you thought you’d have.
Examples of
grief & loss
-
Grief in the LGBTQIA+ community can take many forms. Mourning the loss of a loved one, grieving family rejection, or navigating the pain of being unseen in your identity.
You might be mourning a past version of yourself, the future you hoped for, or relationships lost due to coming out.
As a queer therapist, my goal is to provide a space for you where you can explore your grief without having to defend your identities.
-
Losing a pet isn’t just losing an animal. It’s losing a soul connection, a best friend, a consistent companion, a reliable source of unconditional love.
The grief can feel isolating, especially if others don’t understand the depth of your loss. Here, your bond is honored, your pain is acknowledged, and you’re given the space to grieve without judgment.
-
The death of someone close (whether expected or sudden) can turn your world upside down.
Whether you’re grappling with deep sorrow, anger, guilt, or even relief, your grief is uniquely yours. There is no timeline, no "right" way to feel.
Together, we make space for your loss and help you navigate life after.
-
Not all grief is tied to death.
The end of a relationship, a career shift, moving to a new place, or changes in your health can bring waves of loss. Even exciting transitions can carry unexpected grief.
If you’re mourning what was while trying to embrace what’s next, you’re not alone in that experience.
-
Some grief goes unrecognized by society. Losses or life transitions that others dismiss, minimize, or fail to acknowledge.
This can include the loss of an estranged family member, an ex-partner, a pregnancy, or a private struggle that doesn’t fit traditional grief narratives.
Your loss is real, even if the world doesn’t make space for it. But here, we do.
Not an exhaustive list.
HOW THERAPY
CAN HELP WITH GRIEVING
Grief doesn’t just hurt, it opens things up.
Sometimes it brings up old stuff. Sometimes it’s about more than the loss itself: the life you thought you’d have, the person you used to be, or the way things felt before everything changed. It can be confusing, overwhelming, and exhausting. So, it definitely makes sense if you don’t know where to begin.
Therapy can be a place to sit with all of that. No fixing. No rushing. Just space to sort through what’s coming up and figure out how to live alongside your grief instead of being crushed by it.
Together, we might:
Let your grief exist without trying to push it away
Find ways to cope that feel supportive, not forced
Talk through how grief connects to identity, relationships, and old wounds
Slowly rebuild meaning in a way that feels honest to you
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means learning how to carry what matters.
