Grief and Loss Counseling
Philadelphia and Beyond
“You made my life more complete during this terrible time."
-Privately Disclosed
It’s been so hard.
You haven’t fully processed everything that’s happened.
You feel a mash-up of grief and total disbelief, life as you know it has changed, forever... and it's hard.
There are times you don't feel like answering calls. The people closest to you are getting through, but you don't have the space for anyone else.
You haven’t replied to a single, “How are you?” text message because that’s an impossible question for you to answer right now. You just can’t, there are no words.
The thought of taking a deep look into that heavy bag of mixed feelings sounds like too much right now because there is simply, no more room.
I understand, and I’m here to help you make some space for yourself and all of that grief.

A time to grieve and be heard.
I understand that right now, your head and heart are overcome with shock and sadness. Everything feels like so much effort, you just know you are in for the fight of your life during this stormy season.
I'm not saying it will be easy, or that it won’t come with many roadblocks, unknowns, and moments of real muck.
But what I am saying is that you do not have to face these feelings all on your own.
With me as your therapist, I will be by your side as you redefine what it means to live life after loss.
This is your invitation to reach out for support as you navigate the space between heartbreak and hope.
Together we can address burning questions like…
“What do you do when life breaks your heart over and over again?”
“When will I start to feel like myself again?”
When you need someone.
I want you to know that you can call on me.
When pain sears through every fiber of your being, and the world around you seems to think that you should just pull yourself together and get on with life.
My promise to you is that I will not be one of those people. I’m here to help you acknowledge the hurt, the pit in your stomach, and the never-ending moments of missing the person you lost.
Our goal in therapy will be to go through that 98 lb. bag of grief you’ve been carrying, and little by little we will work to lighten your load.
By using specialized approaches through talk therapy, art therapy, and Eco-Art Therapy, you will be supported in sorting out your bag of grief, feeling safe to cry it out, and create a cope with living through this season.
Wondering what Eco-Art Therapy is?!
Eco-Art Therapy, essentially, is counseling in the outdoors. And by adding creative expression through art, we maximize healing potential.
As we gather together in nature, all sorts of beautiful things can happen from within. I can’t wait for you to experience what it’s like to be with the memory of your loved one, and feel their love in your footsteps as you move through life.
You’ve got it in you!
No pressure, I know you have enough of that weighing down on your shoulders right now. I want you to trust yourself and follow the direction you feel pulled in.
Here is what I know about taking the next step - when something catches your eye, gets your attention, or resonates with you, that’s a good sign. It’s even better when it keeps showing up in your awareness or stays on your mind.
Pay attention to that. That is EVERYTHING. It’s your next step, it's the needed step in a direction that could be life changing!
So if you do feel guided towards embarking on a therapy journey, then it would be a true joy and honor to be your therapist. Your heart knows if this kind of support is for you.

Hey there! I’m Dana.
You deserve the healing you are after.
Maybe you’re exhausted with taking care of everyone else or lost in grief and loss. And it feels like you don’t know how to get relief or heal.
Well you are on the right page and I’m so glad you are here!
One of my main goals and areas of expertise: to help those I work with find joy again.
