Grief and Loss Therapy for Adults
Reimagining what it means to grieve and heal, one day at a time.
Sometimes grief shows up like…
avoidance and isolation nausea
change in appetite exhaustion
anger hypervigilance
forgetfulness blame and guilt
inability to concentrate
Other times it looks like…
numbness negative self-talk
denial panic
flu-like symptoms depression
sleep disruptions body spasms
Together, healing can feel like…
hope love joy renewal safety
peace permission rest
acceptance repair excitement
growth adjustment strength
a long awaited deep, deep breath
The death of a loved one can be a deeply saddening experience.
There are also many losses we face that don’t always get enough attention or support.
The thing with grief is that it can arise in unexpected spaces of life, most of which we dismiss away as our aversion to change.
Sometimes we even tell ourselves that what has happened is
‘not that big of a deal’
or something to ‘get over’ because
‘others have it worse’.
We are taught to be grateful. We learn that crying is weak or that strength comes from keeping it all together.
We unknowingly dismiss our pain and invite others to do the same.
Whether you have endured the death of a loved one, a major life transition, are struggling with unmet expectations, are navigating strained dynamics or have reached the end of a relationship, role, or season of life, I can help.
Loss takes many forms
What can help look like?
No two people will experience grief, loss, or life in the same way.
My goal within this space is to see you for who you are, hear your story, and work alongside you to determine the best way to meet your current needs.
Group Therapy is also a powerful tool in navigating grief and loss. Sometimes we want to connect with others who may have experienced a similar loss or circumstance. Maybe our grief has led to isolation and we are yearning for connection and community. Peer support creates an environment of restored hope, togetherness, and validation.
Individual Therapy is often a great place to begin your healing journey. Here we can unpack, explore, share, and dig-deeper. We can find your voice, build confidence, and foster hope for a better tomorrow. We go at your pace, with gentle nudges along the way to remind you that you are more capable than your pain allows you to believe.
