Grief counseling can help you process overwhelming emotions, learn healthy coping strategies, and rebuild a sense of normalcy after loss. A trained counselor provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, and confusion, helping you make meaning of your experience and reduce isolation. Counseling can also teach practical tools for managing triggers, improving sleep and daily functioning, and strengthening relationships strained by grief. Over time, these supports can foster resilience, restore hope, and guide you toward a renewed, manageable life while honoring your connection to the person or thing you lost.

As a certified Thanatologist and practicing grief counselor I draw from years of experience and knowledge to provide relief through the following:

Compassion and Active Listening

You will be met where you are, with compassion and kindness. We will move at your pace and schedule our sessions as you need.

Story Telling

Narrative work is helpful to process and even reframe what has happened. Through sharing your stories, you may explore your response to how it feels, how you are changing and how you might live again in the future.

Creativity and Expression

While talking can help, using color, metaphor, imagery, movement, collage and other expressive techniques offers a more holistic way to integrate grief. The office has resources to explore, including Karuna Cards, worksheets and art materials.

Finding Your Resilience

Most people are able to adapt over time, discovering insights. It may take longer than you wish, but the possibility of living fully after loss is available.

Non-death Loss

We do not grieve only when someone dies. There are other reasons to consult with Claudia, such as health issues and serious illness, divorce or break-up, career changes or job loss, relocation and other difficult transitions.

In person appointments are available for vaccinated people only. Virtual appointments are also available.
