Grief Counseling Services in Portland, OR
Grief changes everything.
Whether your loss is recent or long-carried, expected or sudden, having support can make the path feel less isolating. At Courageous Mourning, I offer specialized grief counseling services in Portland, Oregon for adults navigating life after loss.
My work focuses exclusively on grief — honoring the depth of attachment, the complexity of mourning, and the ways loss reshapes identity.
You do not have to move through this alone.
I can help you discover which practices—such as journaling, artistic expression, spending time in nature, or participating in a group—will best nurture you in your grieving process.
Individual Grief Counseling
Individual grief counseling provides a private, one-on-one space to explore your experience of loss at your own pace.
In our work together, we may gently explore:
The emotional impact of your loss
Complicated or prolonged grief
Sudden or traumatic death
Identity shifts after loss
Meaning-making and integration
Sessions are held in person at my Northwest Portland office and are also available via telehealth for clients located in Oregon.
I am available to meet one-on-one with clients who need individual support through grief and healing. Together we’ll determine the frequency that works best for where you’re at in the process—weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.

Grief Support Groups
Grief support groups offer a different kind of healing — one rooted in shared experience.
In a therapist-led group setting, you have the opportunity to:
Witness and be witnessed
Feel less alone in your grief
Normalize complex emotions
Build connection in community
Groups meet in person in Portland and are intentionally structured to create emotional safety and thoughtful dialogue.
I facilitate small groups for those who want to connect with others who are also experiencing grief and loss. If this interests you, I can provide more details about the types of groups I’m currently facilitating or other upcoming opportunities.
