1:1 Grief Counseling & Inner Healing

Private Support for Women Navigating Loss, Transition, and Emotional Fatigue.

Grief is not something to “fix” in one conversation.

It is something to be held, witnessed, and gently untangled over time.

My 1:1 grief counseling and inner healing work is designed for women who are ready for deep, compassionate support—not surface-level coping strategies or rushed sessions.

This is sacred work. And it deserves intention on both sides.

Who This Work Is For

Private 1:1 counseling may be right for you if you:

Are navigating grief, loss, or a major life transition
Feel emotionally exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from yourself
Want faith-centered, trauma-aware, emotionally grounded support
Are ready to commit to healing as a process, not a one-time conversation

If you’re seeking a quick vent session or one-off advice, this may not be the right fit—and that clarity matters.

How We Begin: The Breakthrough Call

15-20 Minutes | $50

All 1:1 counseling clients begin with a Breakthrough Call.

This short, intentional conversation allows us to:

Explore where you are emotionally
Clarify what kind of support you’re truly needing
Discern whether working together 1:1 is the right next step

This is not a counseling session.

It is a discernment space—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence, not guesswork.

If we both feel aligned, you’ll be invited to move into private 1:1 counseling options.

What 1:1 Grief Counseling Looks Like

When we work together privately, you can expect:

A compassionate, faith-centered approach to grief and emotional healing
Space to process loss without being rushed, minimized, or “fixed”
Gentle guidance rooted in lived experience, clinical insight, and care
A rhythm that honors your nervous system, story, and season

This work unfolds over time, not pressure.

A Note About Sessions & Investment

Because grief work is relational and deeply personal, 1:1 sessions are not booked individually without discernment.

Your Breakthrough Call ensures:

You are supported in the way that best serves you
I am able to offer care with integrity and presence
We enter the work with clarity, consent, and alignment

If private counseling is not the right fit, you may be guided toward other supportive options.
