Therapy for Life After Loss
Support for the grief that continues on, long after the world expects you to be “okay.”
Life Kept Going
Grief Remained
You are past the early days of loss. You have kept going, resumed something that resembles your life, and shown up for the people and responsibilities that needed you.
But grief has not kept to its expected timeline. It surfaces in your relationships, in your sense of who you are, and in the spaces between you and someone you love. It shows up at milestones, in the quiet, and in the moments you least expect it.
It may not look the way grief is “supposed to look.” It may not even feel like grief to you. But something from what you have been through is still present, still shaping your world, and still making life difficult.
This does not mean anything is wrong with you or the way you have grieved. It means what you lost mattered deeply. You are ready to stop navigating it alone.

Hi, I’m Sarah
I am a Seattle-based therapist offering grief-informed therapy for individuals, couples, and teens navigating life after loss. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and attuned to the ways grief continues to shape people over time, both internally and in relationships.
Together, we create space to explore what is coming up for you, without pressure to rush or resolve your grief. This work is about understanding, integration, and supporting you in living a life that can honor both loss and everything that comes after.
