Grief isn’t just about missing someone—it’s the pain of learning how to live in a world that feels different without them.
Virtual and In-Person Therapy for Grief in New York City and New York State
Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to carry the weight of grief alone.
Living with grief can feel like waves crashing over you, knocking you down when you least expect it, leaving you unsteady in a life that no longer feels familiar. You might wonder if things will ever feel lighter or how you’re ever supposed to move forward without your loved one.
Whether you’re newly grieving or struggling with the pain of a loss from years ago, you might feel like you have to suffer in silence or stay strong for others. Grief can leave you feeling weary, overwhelmed, and you may even carry feelings of shame, believing you should have “moved on” by now, even though the pain still feels just as real.
As a grief therapist in New York, I offer both in-person and virtual therapy for grief and loss, creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and gently held in your pain. Whether you’re coping with a recent loss or navigating grief over time, our work together will honor your unique path toward healing. (I promise there won’t be any “Five Stages of Grief” conversations in my therapy room.)
Grief looks different for everyone, but these experiences might feel familiar:
Feeling caught off guard by sudden waves of grief, even years after your loss, and wondering if you should be further along in your grieving process.
Pretending you’re okay while feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from things that used to bring you joy.
Struggling to find your new normal and feeling unsure of how to move forward, especially in the face of sudden, traumatic loss.
Carrying guilt over things you did or didn’t say or do, and needing a space to process your relationship with the person you lost.
Avoiding talking about your grief out of fear of being a burden or worrying others are tired of hearing about it.
Worrying that if you start to feel better, it means you’re forgetting them.
Struggling to find time and energy to deal with your grief mindfully, while life keeps moving forward around you, and feeling unsure if grief therapy can help.
Grief can make you feel more isolated, as if you're carrying a weight no one else can see or understand.
My approach to individual grief therapy
I offer a compassionate, patient, and reflective space where you can explore your pain without judgment. While I believe there’s no timeline for healing from the loss of a loved one, that doesn’t mean you will feel stuck in your grief forever or that you can’t start finding some relief in the present. We will work together to understand what you need to navigate your grief in a way that feels authentic and supportive.
I find many of my clients come to therapy because they’re struggling to make space for grief within their daily life. As time passes, it becomes harder to honor their loved one amidst the distractions of day-to-day responsibilities and feeling like, even with strong systems of support, they don’t know how to talk about their grief with others. Therapy can offer a safe “container” to check in with what you’re feeling, process your pain, and begin to honor what you need outside of the therapy room.
My style is grounded in psychodynamic and person-centered therapy, with a relational and strengths-based focus. There won’t be any CBT techniques, homework, or workbooks in our sessions (or empty words of platitude meant to instill hope, but that often have the opposite effect). Instead, you'll find a warm, empathetic fellow human to reflect, process, and find meaning at your own pace with.

a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.”
