The Method

Four pillars for the whole of you.

Every offer at Oak & Willow rests on the same foundation — a way of working that tends to all of who you are, not only your thoughts.

You're not alone

Grief is not something we get over or move on from. We learn to live with it — redefining life, finding meaning and connection moving forward.

I am as strong as an oak and as flexible as a willow. I may bend, but I will not break.

A calm moment of reflection

How we work

More than talk.

Jenn integrates a range of evidence-based and integrative approaches — each chosen for where you are, not one-size-fits-all.

Somatic & nervous system work

Helping a grieving body feel safe enough to settle before anything else.

Breathwork

Guided breath that signals safety and lets the body soften.

EMDR

Evidence-based reprocessing so painful memories lose their charge.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)

A supported, integrative approach — always held within therapy, never on its own.

Grief education

Understanding what's happening to you, and why grief isn't linear.

Relational support

Tending the relationships that hold us, and reducing the loneliness of loss.

Beyond traditional therapy

Oak & Willow goes beyond a traditional therapy model into a collaborative, specialized care practice — focused on grief, trauma, end-of-life support, nervous system regulation, and meaningful human connection.

Gather

Some support happens together.

We're not meant to grieve in isolation. Alongside 1:1 care, Oak & Willow offers held spaces to grieve and grow with others who understand.

Group Programs

Small guided circles by pillar.

Walking alongside others who understand. Limited-size groups organized around a single pillar, meeting over several weeks.

A gentle first step

A journey to hope.

When you're ready, the gentlest first step is a few soft questions. Jenn will reach out personally — no rush, no pressure.
