Michael Keigher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Grief isn’t just about death — it can come from breakups, identity shifts, big life changes, or even letting go of the future you pictured. I offer a space where you don’t have to rush your healing or tidy your emotions. We’ll sit with the hard stuff together and make room for both heartbreak and hope.

Allison Lobel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing grief and loss, whether from the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other life changes that bring feelings of sadness and disconnection. Therapy provides a compassionate space to process emotions, honor what has been lost, and find pathways toward healing. I also support families in navigating grief together, fostering understanding, resilience, and connection during times of deep change.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.” ― David Kessler, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief
I align with this quote. Grief and loss come in many forms and ultimately in death. My heart for grief work is being present and holding space to let you experience the full measure of your grief while staying anchored in the here and now. You will drown and then realize you are the ocean.

Brandon Brito
Pre-Licensed Professional
Loss and grief are a core part of being human. They often show up alongside other experiences like depression, anxiety, or life transitions. I see grief as something universal—something that connects us rather than separates us. When we approach it as a natural and collective experience, it can shift the way we relate to pain. Instead of trying to “move on,” we begin to integrate it, allowing it to reshape us in ways that bring deeper understanding and connection.
In therapy, I hold space for that process whatever it looks like for you. Together, we explore what has been lost, what still remains, and what new meaning might begin to emerge in its place.
