Grief & Loss Therapy
“Each person's grief is unique like a fingerprint, but all grievers share a need for their grief to be witnessed without others trying to lessen it or point out silver linings.” - David Kessler
No one asks to grieve, but to live a full human life is to encounter it. Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn't mean it's easy to cope with or live with.
We often think of grief as following the death of a loved one, but it can also come from other losses: the end of a relationship, infertility or miscarriage, changes in health, aging parents, the loss of a beloved pet, or the life you imagined that didn't unfold as expected.
Grief does not move in a straight line or follow clearly defined stages. You may feel sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, relief, or longing—sometimes all in the same day.
​
There is no "right" way to grieve and no timeline you're supposed to follow.
Types of Loss I Help With:
Does This Sound Familiar?
-
You're functioning on the outside but falling apart inside
-
Waves of grief hit you unexpectedly and overwhelm you
-
You feel guilty for moving forward or for moments when you're not sad
-
Others keep telling you it's time to "move on” but you can’t
-
You feel angry, numb, or nothing when you think you "should" feel sad
How Therapy Can Help
When grief becomes overwhelming, isolating, or feels like it has stalled your ability to live your life fully, therapy can help. We create space for your loss to be acknowledged and understood, without pressure to "move on" or feel differently before you're ready.
Together, we'll focus on:
-
Creating space and understanding for all of your feelings—grief isn't just sadness
-
Staying connected to what was lost while reengaging with life
-
Making sense of trauma connected to loss
-
Building capacity to reengage with life and make meaning while carrying your grief
What to Expect
Starting Out — We'll talk about your loss, what you're experiencing, and how grief is showing up. There's no pressure to share more than you're ready for.
The Work — Grief therapy isn't about forcing you through stages or getting you to feel better faster. It's about being with what's true, processing what needs processing, and finding ways to integrate loss into your life.
Your Timeline — There is no "right" amount of time to grieve. Some people feel ready to transition after a few months. Others benefit from longer support.
What Changes — You won't "get over" your loss, but the intensity often softens. You'll develop better tools for managing grief waves. You'll find ways to honor your loss while building your life again with the grief.
Grief changes us, but it doesn't have to define or limit us. With support, it's possible to carry your loss with more gentleness, clarity, and a renewed sense of connection.
