Types of Loss I Help Clients Navigate
Grief is one of the most universal human experiences, and yet it is also one of the most isolating. Whether you have lost a loved one, a relationship, a career, or a sense of identity you once took for granted, grief can leave you feeling unmoored. In my Manhattan practice, I provide a steady, compassionate presence for people who are learning to live with loss.
Death of a Loved One — The loss of a spouse, parent, child, sibling, or close friend — at any stage and in any circumstance.
Divorce & Breakups — The grief of a relationship ending, loss of shared identity, and the upheaval of rebuilding.
Complicated Grief — Grief that becomes stuck, overwhelming, or entangled with depression or anxiety.
Career & Identity Loss — Job loss, retirement, health changes, or the loss of a dream that defined you.
Accumulated Loss — Earlier, unprocessed grief that amplifies the pain of a current loss.
Ambiguous Loss — Grieving someone who is still alive — estrangement, dementia, addiction, or emotional absence.
Grief Deserves Space
There is no wrong time to seek support. I’m here when you’re ready.
There Is No Right Way to Grieve
The popular notion of linear stages — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance — does not capture the reality of most people’s experience. Grief moves in waves. It resurfaces at unexpected moments. It can coexist with relief, guilt, anger, and even gratitude.
In therapy, I help clients honor the full complexity of their grief without judgment or pressure to “move on” according to anyone else’s timeline. My approach is warm, patient, and deeply respectful of each person’s process.
5 out of 5 stars
“Grief does not follow a schedule, and there is no expiration date on loss. What I offer is a steady, compassionate presence — a space where every dimension of your grief is welcomed and taken seriously.”

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no wrong time. Some people seek support immediately after a loss, while others come months or even years later when they realize the grief is still affecting them. If your grief feels overwhelming, isolating, or like it is interfering with your ability to function in daily life, therapy can help.
Grief does not follow a schedule, and neither does grief therapy. Some individuals find meaningful support in a relatively short course of therapy; others benefit from longer-term work, especially when the loss is complicated by other factors. I work at your pace and adjust the focus as your needs evolve.
Absolutely. There is no expiration date on grief. While the acute intensity often softens with time, it is completely normal to feel waves of sadness, longing, or disorientation well beyond the first year. If your grief feels stuck or is getting worse rather than shifting, that is a particularly good reason to seek support.
Yes. Grief accompanies many kinds of loss — divorce, the end of a friendship, job loss, retirement, health changes, the loss of a dream or identity. These losses are just as real and deserving of attention. In therapy, we honor whatever you are grieving and explore its impact on your life.
