Grief is a natural and deeply human response to loss, yet it can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and often terribly lonely. Whether the loss is recent or occurred years ago, grief that goes unexamined, unwitnessed, or unvalidated can leave us feeling stuck, heavy, or empty.

"Karen coached me around grief. After our six sessions together, I felt that I had developed some solid ways of continuing the relationship with my son who died in 2020. She helped me come up with ways to remember him, honor him, and essentially, continue to grieve his death, which is something that I will be doing throughout the rest of my life."
