"Grief doesn't come with instructions. But you don't have to figure it out alone."

— Anna Menniti, LMFT

Who this is for

You're not supposed to know how to do this.

Grief doesn't look the way people expect — and it often starts long before a death. Most people navigating a serious illness or a loss feel like they're doing it wrong. Therapy isn't about doing grief better. It's about having somewhere honest to put it.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Someone you love has received a serious diagnosis

When a family member or partner is facing a serious or terminal illness, the grief starts before any death does. Therapy creates space to process what's happening while you're still in the middle of it.

You are facing a serious diagnosis yourself

Patients facing a difficult prognosis often feel pressure to stay strong for the people around them. Therapy is a place where you don't have to manage anyone else's feelings — just your own.

Someone important to you has died

Grief after a loss is rarely straightforward, and it often takes longer than people around you expect. Whether the loss was recent or years ago, therapy helps you carry it differently.

You're navigating another major life transition

New parenthood, divorce, an empty nest, a career shift — major transitions surface more than people expect. If life feels heavier than it should right now, that's enough reason to reach out.

What we work on

Where therapy can help

See all services

Grief & Bereavement

Support for loss
at any stage

Grief rarely follows a timeline, and it often looks different than people expect. Individual bereavement counseling gives you space to process a loss without pressure to be further along than you are.

Palliative & End-of-Life Support

When someone
is seriously ill

Support for patients facing a serious diagnosis, and for the families supporting them. Anticipatory grief — the grief that begins before a death — is real, and it deserves care too.

Life Transitions

When life shifts
in unexpected ways

New parenthood, divorce, empty nesting, career reinvention — major transitions surface more than people expect. Therapy helps you move through them with more clarity and less isolation.

Couples Therapy

Navigating loss
and change together

Grief and major transitions put pressure on relationships. Couples therapy helps partners stay connected through some of the hardest seasons of their lives.

About Anna

Hi, I'm Anna.
I specialize in the
grief no one talks about.

I specialize in grief, bereavement, and end-of-life support — the kind of grief that starts before a death, lingers after everyone else has moved on, and changes your understanding of everything.

I also work with people navigating other major transitions — new parenthood, divorce, empty nesting, career change. Loss takes many forms.

I'm based in Carlsbad and see clients in person and via telehealth throughout California.
