You’re still showing up for life.
You just don’t feel like yourself anymore.
You’re functioning… but you’re not okay
Grief doesn’t only happen after a death.
It can follow a divorce, estrangement, miscarriage, betrayal, or a life that changed without your permission.
I help women understand what is happening inside them and learn how to live again without losing the person they were before the loss. Click on the button below to get started.
You Are Not Broken
Grieving women almost universally believe one of these:
I should be over this
Other people handle loss better
I’m too sensitive
I’m stuck
I ruined my life
I’ll never feel normal again
What grief actually feels like:
irritability
numbness
exhaustion
identity loss
withdrawal
overfunctioning
emotional swings
guilt for moving forward
panic when life starts feeling normal
If you’ve been wondering why you’re not “moving on,” this is why.
Grief is not just emotional pain.
It is a neurological, relational, and identity injury.
You're not Broken. You're Grieving.
You're not Broken. You're Grieving.
Hi, I’m Nancy.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Grief Educator, and I work primarily with women whose lives were changed by a loss they are still trying to make sense of.
Many of my clients look high functioning on the outside. They go to work, take care of people, and keep responsibilities moving. But internally something feels off. They feel disconnected from themselves, easily overwhelmed, or strangely numb. They often tell me, “I should be okay by now,” even though a part of them knows they are not.
Grief does not only follow a death. It can come after a divorce, a breakup, miscarriage, infertility, family estrangement, betrayal, or a life that turned out very differently than expected. Loss reshapes identity, relationships, and the way you move through the world. It can leave you carrying emotions you cannot explain and a version of yourself you no longer recognize.
My work is not about forcing you to move on or pushing you to feel positive. It is about helping you understand what is happening inside you, gently process what you have been carrying alone, and learn how to live forward without feeling like you are abandoning what mattered.
You do not have to hold everything together here.
When you are ready, you can start with a consultation.
Ready to feel better… for real?
Here’s how we’ll work together:
Step 1 – Tell Your Story Safely
We slow everything down and help you make sense of what happened and how it changed you.
Step 2 – Understand Your Grief
You learn why your emotions, reactions, and thoughts make sense and why you have not been able to “fix” it on your own.
Step 3 – Rebuild Your Life Without Abandoning Your Past
We work on identity, relationships, and learning how to feel alive again without feeling like you’re betraying what you lost.
When you begin therapy, you’ll receive:
✔️ 3 therapy sessions per month (with one integration week to rest + reflect).
✔️ An individualized treatment plan based on your goals.
✔️ Tools from CBT, Polyvagal Theory, mindfulness, and somatic work.
✔️ Support to help ease your grief and start rebuilding a sense of safety.
✔️ A safe space where you can show up messy, vulnerable, and real.
This isn’t just therapy—it’s nervous system healing, emotional clarity, and reconnection with your self-worth.
Without support, grief often becomes:
chronic numbness
relationship withdrawal
anxiety
overworking
emotional shutdown
identity collapse
With therapy:
relief
self-understanding
reconnection
permission to live again
memory without overwhelming pain
You don’t have to figure it out alone. You just have to begin.
Let’s start the work together—gently, intentionally, and at your pace.
