Grief & Loss Therapy

Is Grief Weighing Heavily on Your Heart?

Are you struggling to adjust after the loss of someone or something deeply important to you? Do waves of sadness, guilt, or even numbness leave you feeling overwhelmed or like you’re just going through the motions?

If this sounds familiar, I want you to know that grief is a natural response to loss... but you don’t have to carry it alone. My approach offers compassionate, client-centered support to help you find your footing again.

What Grief Can Look Like

Grief is a deeply personal journey. It doesn’t follow a straight path or a set timeline. It can show up in surprising ways emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. Some of the most common signs of grief include:

• Intense sadness or emotional pain

• Numbness, emptiness, or a feeling of disconnection

• Guilt, regret, or self-blame

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Changes in appetite or sleep patterns

• Fatigue or a sense of heaviness in the body

• Irritability or emotional outbursts

• Longing or preoccupation with the person or thing lost

• Avoidance of reminders or feeling stuck in the past

Grief can follow the death of a loved one, but it can also arise from other kinds of losses: divorce, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, or major life transitions. Whatever your loss may be, your pain is valid and your healing matters.

How Therapy Helps

When you’re grieving, it can feel like the world has moved on while you’re still standing still. Therapy creates a space where your grief is honored, not rushed. It’s a place to share your story, express what’s hard to say elsewhere, and begin to make meaning from your loss.

In therapy, we work together to:

• Give voice to your grief, without judgment or pressure to “move on” other "get over it"

• Understand how your loss has affected you, emotionally, mentally, and physically

• Process complex emotions like anger, guilt, or relief, which are all normal parts of grief

• Find ways to stay connected to what you’ve lost, while also staying connected to life

• Explore your identity and purpose as you adjust to a new reality

Therapy won’t erase the pain, but it can help you carry it differently and with more clarity, compassion, and resilience.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Grief can be lonely, but you don’t have to walk this path by yourself. Together, we can:

• Make space for your grief, in all its forms

• Discover rituals, memories, or practices that bring comfort and meaning

• Navigate difficult anniversaries, triggers, or transitions

• Rebuild your life around the loss, rather than feeling trapped inside it

• Reinvest in your new reality, incorporating your loss in a meaningful way

If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I’m here to support you one step at a time, and at your own pace.
