Who I work WIth
People navigating grief, loss, complex trauma, anxiety, substance use, and difficult life transitions. You have heard it all before: “sorry for your loss, i wish that never happened to you, I CAN'T even imagine,” but you still feel alone. I am here to hear your story and lead you back to a path that is meant for you.
If you have to pick up the PIECES after life HAS handed you something unfair, or you are sick of REPEATING the same patterns over and over, reach out. I am here to support you with real, lasting change.
“You can honor the ways you've learned to survive while making room for new ways to live.”
Meet Your Therapist
Hello, I’m Nora, owner of Tacoma Grief Counseling. I come to this work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & a deep believer in the resilance of the human spirit. I know this because I have experienced it. In addition to my clinical training, I am also a human whose life has been affected by Trauma, death, and loss. And while I know what it feels like to hold that pain, I also know what it feels like to heal from it. And I am here to hold hope for you until you can hold it for yourself.
What Is Therapy with me like?
I use experiential techniques, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Attachment Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), to work on changing patterns and healing from trauma; often, trauma and grief leave us feeling like we cannot trust ourselves. In our work, you will find your way back to you. While our work is collaborative, I create structure to guide you towards internal growth and trauma resolution. My goal is to support you in understanding yourself and your story so you can choose the next chapter.
