Grief doesn't follow a schedule. It doesn't care that you thought you were fine last Tuesday. It shows up in waves, sometimes crashing, sometimes barely a ripple, but always there. And when you're in it, the world can feel very far away.
I'm Leah Carlson. I work primarily with grief, loss, and low mood, especially when those experiences are tangled up with life transitions that leave you feeling unmoored. A death, a relationship ending, a chapter closing that you were not ready to close. These things change the landscape of your life, and it takes time and care to find your bearings again.
My approach is quiet and reflective. I bring mindfulness into our work because there's real power in simply being present with what you're feeling, rather than constantly trying to fix it or push past it. That doesn't mean we sit in sadness forever. It means we honor it, learn from it, and gradually make room for other things alongside it.
I'm a deep listener. Not the kind who's just waiting for you to finish so I can give advice, but the kind who's genuinely trying to understand what it's like to be you right now. That understanding is where our work begins.
If guilt, regret, or lingering sadness have been your constant companions, we can explore them together. Not to erase them but to loosen their grip, so that you can start reconnecting with the parts of life that still hold meaning.
Whenever you're ready to start that conversation, this space will be here for you.
