Grief & Loss

Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and it rarely looks the way people expect. As a Certified Grief Educator, Anne works with people navigating the death of someone they love — and with the kinds of loss that don't always get recognized as grief at all: the loss of a relationship, a role, a version of the future you'd been counting on, or a health you used to have.

What grief support actually looks like

There's no timeline you'll be held to here. Some people come in within days of a loss; others come in years later, when something unrelated finally cracks open what they'd been carrying quietly. Both are the right time. Sessions are about making space for what you're actually feeling — not managing it into something more convenient, and not rushing you toward "moving on" before you're ready.

Anticipatory grief

Grief doesn't always start after a loss. If you're caring for someone with a terminal or progressive illness, or watching a relationship or a chapter of life end slowly, the grieving can begin long before the ending itself arrives. That kind of grief is real, and it deserves support too.

Losses that don't get acknowledged

Not every significant loss comes with a funeral. Divorce, estrangement, infertility, a diagnosis, a job or identity you'd built your life around — these losses are just as real, even when the people around you don't quite know how to recognize them. Part of this work is simply having a place where that loss is taken seriously.

Anne's approach

Anne's training as a Certified Grief Educator shapes how she works: informed by how grief actually unfolds (not the neat "five stages" version), and grounded in over 25 years of clinical experience sitting with people through the hardest parts of their lives. The goal isn't to get you "over" your grief on any particular timeline — it's to help you find a way to carry it that doesn't have to be carried alone.
