About Alexis — Licensed Grief Counselor in NY, NJ & CT
Welcome — I'm glad you're here. This is a safe, judgment-free space for grief, loss, and life transitions, and you don't have to navigate any of it alone.
When Everything Changes, You Need Someone Who Understands
Grief isn't only about death. It's the empty chair at the dinner table. The career that defined you for decades. The marriage you thought would last forever. The version of yourself you can no longer recognize.
I've spent over 10 years working with people in the midst of profound loss and life transitions — people who feel like they're supposed to be "fine" but aren't. People who are exhausted from hearing "everything happens for a reason" when their world has fallen apart. People who need more than coping strategies — they need someone to truly witness their pain and walk alongside them as they find their way forward.
Meet Alexis — Your Grief Counselor
Hi, I'm Alexis. I specialize in helping adults navigate grief and major life changes. My work as a counselor is rooted in the belief that healing doesn't mean "getting over it." It means learning to carry what you've lost while still moving forward. It means honoring your story while writing new chapters.
I understand this not only as a grief therapist but as someone who has experienced loss and life transitions firsthand. My own healing journey, including my personal experience in therapy, has deepened my understanding of just how transformative the right support can be. When you work with me, you're working with someone who genuinely gets it
In our work together, you won't find toxic positivity or pressure to bounce back on anyone else's timeline. What you will find is a safe, compassionate space where you can:
Feel your feelings without apology
Explore who you're becoming in the aftermath of loss
Develop tools for the hardest days
Make peace with uncertainty
Rediscover meaning, connection, and hope
Change is inevitable. Processing grief and navigating life transitions alone doesn't have to be.
My Approach to Online Grief Therapy
My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply personal. Every person who comes to me carries a unique story, and I believe my support should reflect that. There's no one-size-fits-all path through grief or change.
Together, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you, honoring where you are right now while exploring where you want to go. Whether you're in the early weeks of loss or years into a grief journey that still feels unresolved, online grief therapy can help you work through what you're carrying and reclaim your sense of direction and purpose.
I currently offer individual online therapy sessions for adults across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Behind the Work — My Training & Experience
