Online Grief & Trauma Therapy: Reclaim Your Full Life After Loss
Specialized therapy for the over-functioning caregiver ready to lose chronic guilt and quiet the critic.
You're used to handling challenges with strength and logic.
You show up for your family, your work, and your friends. You’re the one who fixes problems, anticipates needs, and holds everything together.
But sometimes, a loss or trauma hits differently.
It’s more than irritation or tears beneath the surface. It creeps into every corner, even when you're outwardly successful.
You might find yourself experiencing:
Deep exhaustion and nagging irritation that no amount of rest, vacation, or self-care seems to fix.
A strained composure that affects your most important relationships. Normal frustrations feel like huge, overwhelming stress.
Restless, disrupted sleep, messing with your usual cleverness and clarity, making you doubt your own decision-making.
Frustrating indecision, even for routine or minor tasks, because the fear of losing control is paralyzing.
A strange lack of satisfaction and genuine engagement you once found in your life, leading to a dull sense of emptiness despite your success.
If any of this resonates, know that you're not alone. This is where specialized online therapy can make a difference.
Online therapy is designed to fit into and enhance your busy, demanding life.
Virtual therapy offers the structure and security you need to do deep, restorative work.
With virtual therapy, you’ll get:
Maximum Privacy: Do deeply personal work from the security and comfort of your own space. You don't have to worry about running into colleagues or spending time on commutes or parking lots.
Super Convenient: Get compassionate support from anywhere in California, Colorado, Florida, or Virginia, allowing you to prioritize your healing without disrupting your schedule.
Tailored Flexibility: As long as you have a private space and a stable internet connection, therapy can continue, even when your life demands travel or changes.
Proven Effectiveness: We use powerful trauma modalities like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), which are just as effective online as they are in person, ensuring your time is well spent on lasting change.

🚫 You recount horrific times in your life and I nod along
🚫 Me telling you to “forgive and forget” “look on the bright side” or “they’re in a better place now!” and charging you money for it
🚫 You tell me your hurts and traumas until you’re exhausted and overwhelmed, session after session
🚫 Me giving you all the secret answers and !finally! everything is all better in a couple of easy sessions
Online therapy is way to connect and get support from home for busy adults who might not be able to do in-person therapy.
It’s simple to join to our sessions and I have availability that fits your full schedule.
This work is personal for me. I've experienced a lot of loss, and it’s shaped how I approach therapy and the types of issues I work best with ~ grief and trauma.

It's completely understandable that grief can feel overwhelming.
I am trained to notice and respond to the micro movements, expressions, and nonverbal cues of overwhelm. Grief is deeply painful and can at times feel too overwhelming. This is completely normal.
My goal is to help you build internal resources to feel like you can handle the many, sometimes unpredictable sharp edges that grief throws at us.
If (and honestly when) this happens during an online session, we embrace it and adapt. We can slow down, distract, take breaks, or focus on somatic grounding techniques. We will get familiar with the parts that are concerned with your loss and make sure they feel validated and cared for.
I'm here to support you wherever you’re at, and we'll work together to find what feels most comfortable.
-
Are you finding that the world feels different now, like a piece is missing? Do familiar things feel heavy or joyless? Are you caught in waves of intense emotion, even when you don't expect them? Do you feel disconnected from yourself or others, or find yourself longing and numb?
If these experiences resonate, you're likely navigating grief. Grief doesn’t always look like deep sadness or crying all day. This journey is unique, and online grief counseling can offer understanding and support as you find your way forward.
-
My approach to grief therapy is rooted in compassion, proficiency, and empathy.
I integrate evidence-based modalities, such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems), to help you process your grief and find healing.
I create a safe and supportive online environment where you can explore your emotions, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with your sense of self.
-
I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I don’t directly bill insurance. However, for residents of California, Colorado, Florida, and Virginia, your insurance may offer out-of-network benefits for virtual therapy. I can provide you with a superbill to submit for potential reimbursement. Checking with your insurance provider is recommended to understand your specific coverage.
-
Yes, online therapy is highly effective in addressing complicated grief and trauma.

The convenience of online sessions can also make it easier to access consistent support during challenging times.

Comfort: Create a safe and familiar environment for your sessions.
Flexibility: Schedule appointments that fit your busy lifestyle.
Privacy: Maintain confidentiality in a secure online setting.
-
While grief can certainly bring about feelings of sadness, anxiety, or even numbness, my focus in grief counseling is specifically on honoring and processing your unique experience of loss.
Using modalities like EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy, we'll address the specific ways grief is impacting your nervous system and emotional landscape, helping you move through the pain towards restoration, rather than solely focusing on managing symptoms of depression or anxiety.
-
