GRIEF SUPPORT
“Grief and love are sisters, woven together from the beginning. Their kinship reminds us that there is no love that does not contain loss and no loss that is not a reminder of the love we carry for what we once held close”
Francis Weller
GRIEF SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and navigating it while supporting your children can feel especially daunting. Whether you're facing a loved one's terminal diagnosis or coping with a recent loss, the journey through grief can be overwhelming. I provide compassionate grief support to youth and families, helping them process their emotions and find a way forward during these difficult times.
I work closely with families, offering guidance to children and parents through developmentally appropriate education and therapeutic outlets. My approach helps children understand death and dying, addresses common misconceptions, and creates space for meaningful memory-making. Together, we honor the love and connection that continues even after loss.
Through an initial consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan to meet the unique needs of your family. I offer in-person sessions in San Francisco Bay Area as well as virtual support for families outside the area. Whether you’re seeking support in your home or through telehealth, I’m here to provide the care and understanding your family needs during this difficult time.
Ocean & Eco Therapy Session
Navigating grief can feel overwhelming, and it’s often difficult to know where to turn for support. I offer a compassionate and safe space for you to process your unique grief journey with the support of nature. I specialize in using meaning-making and continuing bonds modalities to help individuals explore their emotions, make sense of their experiences, and find ways to maintain connections with their loved ones—while honoring the complexity of love and loss.
Grief isn’t linear. It comes in waves, sometimes sudden and intense, other times subtle and lingering. My goal is to be by your side as you ride these waves, helping you integrate grief into your life in a way that feels manageable and healing. Through our work together, we’ll focus on creating a path that allows you to hold space for both your grief and the love that remains.
Whether you're seeking clarity, emotional support, or a deeper connection with your lost loved ones, our sessions will empower you to process grief at your own pace and in your own way. There is no "right" way to grieve—only the way that helps you move forward with meaning and connection.

This is a community space held to normalize grief and find healing, in and around the ocean. All grief and grievers and all ocean experiences are welcome. Waves of Grief is a donation based year-round Ocean + Surf Therapy program that allows for flow and meaningful connection supported by the ocean and hosted by our global Waves of Grief collective, a community of leading surf therapy practitioners, healers and humans working together to reduce the feelings of isolation and loneliness that accompany grief and loss. We are all connected by our love for the ocean - how being in, on, or around the water can be healing. Together we aim to foster meaningful connection, supported by the ocean. Bring your own gear to enjoy Mother Ocean how you feel best. Together we gather in community to honor, share and witness personal and collective grief. We start in circle on the sand, then invite everyone to engage with the ocean through watching, wading, swimming, boogie boarding or surfing, etc. *Registration is required to participate.
