I am available to support people navigating their grief journeys through both in-person and online counseling sessions. Having experienced my own traumatic and personal losses has led me to want to serve others in grief, and guide in the understanding that grieving is about connection, not closure. I can personally relate to your grief around sibling and parent loss, loss from suicide, loss from cancer and pet loss.
Grief does not always revolve around a death. Losses that affect our daily lives can include dissolving a marriage, losing a job, or the anticipatory anxiety of the passing of our elderly parents. My goal is to meet each client where they are on their grief journey, provide an open heart, and walk alongside them. This is my way of turning pain into purpose.

I offer a safe, accepting and nurturing setting for exploring the complexity of emotions, changes and challenges that often arise in the face of major life transitions, loss and grief. It would be my honor to support you in exploring the layers of your loss, finding your footing again, and restoring your hope for a meaningful future.
I was drawn to grief work after the death of mother from cancer when I was seventeen, and the ensuing desire to more deeply understand and make meaning out of my experience of loss. I approach grief not as a problem to be solved, but rather, as a natural, human response to loss, and, as writer Jane Brody describes, “a process to be tended and lived through, in whatever form and however long it may take.” When we are deeply grieving, it can feel as if the rest of the world is carrying on as normal around us, while our personal world has been shattered and turned upside down. My personal and professional experiences heighten my sensitivity to the complexity of feelings and challenges that often surface when we are grieving significant losses and facing major changes in our lives.
I offer individual grief counseling and support to individuals ages 18 and older. Services are available both in-person or via a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. I also facilitate online therapeutic “writing through grief” groups.

Hi, I’m Rita, a professional spiritual coach, counsellor, grief educator, mindfulness guide and creator of sacred ceremonies. I have been working in the field of personal and spiritual development for over 35 years
I support and guide people across the bridge from Fear and Grief to Love 💜 In each moment we have really only two choices – the path of fear or the path of love. Simple but not always easy to make that choice especially when we are grieving .
My approach is humanistic and person centred. I offer a non-judgemental, compassionate, safe and confidential space. I endeavour to have a deep respect and understanding of your personal values, beliefs and culture. I am warm and creative . I listen deeply and bring afresh perspective to support positive growth and development in people’s lives supporting them through their grief, bereavement and loss. As David Kessler says ; ‘We need to grieve fully in order to live and love fully’.
Spiritual quite simply means, waking up. Waking up to a loving benevolent power greater than ourselves, that sustains and guides us. As a spiritual counsellor and coach I offer a space in which I guide and accompany you on your journey of self-love and self-care through this rocky terrain of grief and loss. I support you to cross the bridge from fear to love.
My ethnicity is Indian. I grew up in the UK. I have travelled extensively and lived in India and I have lived in the Caribbean for many years. I also had the privilege working with Mother Theresa and the Sisters of Light in Kolkata.
