Goodness of Fit
Healing is a deeply personal journey, and finding the right therapeutic relationship is an essential part of that process. Not every approach works for every person, and not every therapist is the right fit for every client. In my therapy practice, I honor the importance of this goodness of fit—where a client’s needs, values, and readiness align with the work I offer.
​
Grief therapy is more than just talking about loss; it is an opportunity to gently explore where grief is held and to move through it with awareness and compassion. This work is for those who are open to experiencing healing beyond just cognitive processing—those willing to listen to their emotions and inner experience with kindness. It is for those who sense that grief lives in more than just their thoughts and are looking for a way to express and release it safely.
​
The clients who find the deepest connection with this work often share certain qualities. They may feel stuck in persistent emotional patterns that logic alone cannot shift. They may carry an intuitive understanding that their grief is present in ways beyond words and long for meaningful ways to engage with it. They may be drawn to a therapy style that goes beyond just talk therapy and into deeper experiential healing. Most importantly, they are open to the process—whether they are just beginning this exploration or have already experienced its transformative potential.
​
A good fit does not mean an absence of challenge. Grief work is tender and requires courage. Clients who align with this practice are willing to engage, to sit with what arises, and to trust that healing unfolds in its own time. They do not need to have all the answers or even a clear path forward—only a willingness to show up with curiosity and compassion for themselves.
​
While this approach is deeply supportive for many, it is not the right fit for everyone. Those who prefer structured, cognitive frameworks without an exploratory component may find other modalities better suited to their needs.
​
I hold deep respect for every person’s unique path in healing. If this work resonates with you, I welcome you to explore it. And if not, I trust that you will find the support that best serves your journey. The goodness of fit is not about exclusion—it is about ensuring that each person finds a space where they feel truly supported, seen, and held in the ways they need most.
