I’m Michelle Byrd, a grief specialist, and I help people who feel lost, numb, and shattered after the death of someone they love.
In the middle of shock, guilt, and heartache, you may feel like you’ve lost yourself.
Here, you don’t have to pretend to be okay. You can fall apart safely, with someone who won’t turn away.
This is a place where your grief will be seen, heard, and honored—and where, at your own pace, you can begin to find your way forward.
When loss tears through your life, it can leave you stunned — as if time has stopped.
The fog makes it hard to think. Your body aches. Nights are long and sleepless.
People mean well, but say the wrong things.
Some expect you to be “over it,” not knowing how broken you feel inside.
What you’re feeling is real, valid — and in many ways, it’s love trying to come through.
And even though it may not feel possible right now, there is a way through this grief.
Therapy can help you slowly begin to move, to breathe, to live again.
When everything feels shattered, you don’t need someone to tell you to move on.
You need someone who will walk with you into the dark—and stay.
That’s what grief therapy is.
I join you in the darkness, and I’m not afraid of your pain.
I’ve sat with families in hospice, in hospitals, and in rooms where their loved one was still there, and it was too painful to see them being taken away. I can hold what others can’t.
In our sessions, we’ll make space for your grief—and in doing so, stop it from running your life.
Like tending a deep wound, we open it gently, care for it, and protect it so you can keep going until you’re ready to tend to it again.
The worst day of your life won’t disappear, but it becomes something you can live through and understand how to carry.
You’ll walk away with space to breathe again.
Not because the grief is gone, but because it no longer consumes you.
You’ll discover that life can hold joy again – not in place of your grief, but right alongside it.
You don’t have to carry this alone.
When you’re ready, I’m here.
Hi, I’m Michelle.
I’ve spent years walking beside people in their darkest moments—in hospice, in hospitals, and now in my private practice.
I’ve seen the rawness of grief, and I’m not afraid of it.
Many of my clients say they chose me because they just knew: “You get it.”
If you feel like no one else can hold your pain, I can. You can bring the darkest parts of your grief here—and I will not turn away.
If you’re ready to take that first step, I would be honored to walk with you.
Grief is not something every therapist can hold—but I can.
Just like you would see a cardiologist for your heart, you deserve a specialist for your grief.
This is all I do.
Because I’ve seen this pain countless times, we don’t have to waste time circling it.
We can go straight to the heart of your grief—safely, gently, and at your pace.
Every loss is different. Every grief is personal.
