“Grief is not linear – it comes in waves. Learn how to ride the wave. You can and will be okay again.”
– Laura Jessen, LIMHP
Grief is messy.
Maybe you’ve told yourself that moving forward means leaving your loved one behind—or worse, feeling guilty for healing.
Whether it’s the loss of a family member, a relationship, or even a beloved pet, the pain runs deep.
You might be wondering if it’s okay to laugh again, to feel happy, or even just to have a normal day without that pit in your stomach. Or maybe healing, ever, still feels impossibly out of reach.
For families, grief can become the thing no one talks about. Maybe you see it in your child—acting out, bottling up their feelings—and you’re not sure how to help.
Imagine finding peace in the pain.
You CAN have happiness again.
You don’t have to forget or "move on"—you can build a life where the memory of your loved one is still with you, just in a different way.
For children, it might be through something like drawing a picture to express what they can’t say out loud.
For you, it could be learning to ride the waves of grief instead of being pulled under by them.
The goal isn’t to “get over” it but to move through it, finding peace along the way.
Grief isn’t just something I talk about in my practice—I’ve lived it.
I’ve been through the pain of losing loved ones and had to figure out how to keep moving forward while holding onto those memories.
My approach to grief and loss isn’t about pushing past the pain but about feeling it, using somatic practices to help you release those deep emotions through your body.
We’ll identify your personal grief process and work through body scanning, breathwork, and grounding techniques.
You don’t have to carry this weight alone.
Who this type of therapy is for:
→ You’re struggling to move forward because you feel guilty about healing or being happy.
→ You’ve lost someone or something important and don’t know how to start processing the pain.
→ Your child is acting out or shutting down, and you need a safe space for them to talk about their feelings.
→ You’re ready to face the waves of grief and find a way to keep the memory alive while also creating a new chapter for yourself.
