Does this sound familiar?
Your grief is an ever-present visitor that sits in your home, creating an oppressive veil that hangs over your days and especially your nights. It just doesn’t stop. Your mind feels stuck on it, replaying certain parts over and over and over. The whole time your thoughts are highlighting the things that went wrong- the things you might have done differently. You weren’t this anxious before, but now you feel the anxiety in your body. Maybe you’re even having panic attacks now. You can’t sleep at night, and you can’t focus during the day.

Life doesn’t have to stay this way.
Hi, I’m Jessica and I can help.
I provide grief therapy using Narrative Therapy with a creative holistic perspective that integrates expressive art. My clients walk away from therapy with me feeling more connected to their grief and all the complex emotions that go along with it. The memories don’t come with painful regrets anymore. You can hold the good and bad parts of your loss in balance. Processing your loss will relieve the anxiety you may be feeling. You’ll know how to cultivate resilience for yourself now and into the future.
As a Bay Area native, I know the fast pace of life doesn’t stop for your grief. You’re expected to keep up like nothing happened with only a few days of bereavement. Online grief therapy gives you the support you need with the flexibility to meet you where you are- no battling traffic or taking extra time to drive. Creative, holistic therapy lets us go deeper— we’re not just focused on skills and techniques to make the surface symptoms go away, we want to dig in and truly heal.

How Online Grief Therapy Works
1. Contact me to schedule a free consultation
Get in touch today. I’ll answer any questions you have and schedule a video or phone consultation to make sure we’re a good fit.
2. Learn the difference between healthy and unhealthy grieving
Join me each week to check in on how your experience is going. Together we’ll develop the tools and skills you need to shift into healthy grieving.
3. Practice skills to manage anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms using EMDR, Brainspotting, or ACT
Your memories won’t feel overwhelming anymore and you’ll start to feel like there’s room for you to still have a good future. These skills give you enough quick relief to allow us to start going deeper in a way that feels manageable.
4. Use Narrative Therapy and creative techniques to process your loss
Your loss will always have its place in your life story, and you’ll feel equipped and ready to step back into your life with healthy, supportive ways to stay connected to the parts of your past that you want to bring forward.
5. You’re always welcome back for support
Processing grief and healing the pain of your loss doesn’t mean that you forget about your loved one or that you don’t care about what happened. Grief can still intensify around important days, holidays, and anniversaries. During these times, you can always request a single session or short term support for a few weeks.
You don’t have to keep suffering. I can help you feel better and process your loss.
Together, we can help you feel grounded and centered again so you can overcome the guilt, regret, and trauma that has come up alongside your loss and experience the difference that comes with grieving in a healthy way.
