Coming Home to Yourself
Grief Counseling for Adults in Corvallis, Oregon
Have you experienced a significant loss and you’re wondering when or if you will ever be able to find yourself again?
Grief is a totally normal response to loss.
Grief can be disorienting and it often brings up conflicting and unexpected emotions. Grief is a wildly human experience. And being human means that each one of us will experience some kind of loss in our lifetime. Yet for many people, grief can be an isolating and lonely experience.
You don’t have to wait for your grief to be over to start living your life again.
Whether it be the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, estrangement from a family member or a major life transition; loss changes us. We all navigate grief and loss in our own unique ways. Grief doesn’t end, it evolves. And it can teach us about ourselves, our courage and what matters most in our life. The good news is that it’s possible to find joy and live a meaningful life with grief.
You don’t have to navigate your grief and loss alone.
We live in a death and pain avoidant society and frequently our friends and family don’t know how to support someone who has experienced a loss. Having a skilled, compassionate and trusted grief and loss counselor can help you integrate your grief and move towards reinvesting in your life.
Hi. I’m Tori. I’m glad you’re here. I know how overwhelming grief and loss is. I also know how transformative it can be.
I specialize in helping individuals living with the big, sticky emotions that come with grief and loss who are wanting to find ways to live a rich and meaningful life with their grief, not after their grief.
With loads of gentle compassion and tools from a variety of evidence informed theories and models, together, we will explore the many ways you can process your loss, sit compassionately with your grief and begin to reinvest in your life.
Sessions are held in-person at my SW Corvallis office.
Additional Services
In addition to grief counseling, I provide therapeutic support in the following areas:
End-of-Life Planning
Your attorney is there to help you sift through the legal issues of your end-of-life planning. I am here to help you navigate the emotional aspects of this process. Let’s get clear about what you want for the end of your life so you can get on with living a meaningful and satisfied life while you’re still here.
End-of-Life Counseling
Are you grappling with confronting your own mortality? Are you questioning what the legacy you will leave behind will be? Do you have unfinished conversations that need to be had with loved ones and don’t know how to start? Whether you have a terminal diagnosis or are simply navigating the reality of life and death, I would be honored to support you through some of life’s most compelling territories.
Intersectional Identity
Are you an individual who straddles two or more identities? Are you longing for support with navigating these often lonely intersections? As a therapist who embodies multiple intersectional identities, I enjoy supporting clients who are curious and motivated to explore what it means to contain multitudes. My clients identify with any of the following: bi-racial or mixed race identity, transracial adoptees, first generation college students/graduates.
Consistent evidence shows that the quality of therapeutic alliance - or the goodness of fit between client and therapist - is linked to the success of treatment, above all other measures.
Let’s chat to see if we are a good fit.
