Grief and Loss
Is this you?
Someone close to you has died and the pain is unimaginable. Or maybe a major life transition leaves you feeling a deep sense of loss—maybe a loss of home, love, culture or identity. Part of you wants to talk about it and part of you can barely face it. Your life may feel shattered. It might feel hard to let people really know how you’re doing because you worry you’re a burden or it feels like you have to take care of other people’s feelings. It’s hard to find people who really get it, but deep down you know you need support. Maybe you’re lonely, disillusioned or angry that few people really understand or know how to show up for you in the ways that you need.
Grief can wear us down.
If you don’t get the support you need, it can eventually take a toll on your health, relationships and ability to function in your daily life.
Finding a greater sense of peace is possible.
You don’t have to feel overcome with grief forever—therapy can help.
My Approach
Everyone’s grief process looks differently. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. My approach is to bear witness to you. I’m here to help you hold whatever you’re going through by providing a safe enough container for you to bring the full spectrum of your experience at whatever pace you need.
Therapy can be a place for you to feel less alone in your grief, a place to tend to your pain and also to learn how to take needed breaks from it. It can be a place for you to talk about your loss with less of a filter. It’s a place to find ways to help cope with overwhelming feelings and also a place to let go of the pressure to be put together all the time. It’s OK to fall apart, be messy, and feel not OK. And it’s also OK if you’re not ready to feel everything all at once. This is normal; and it’s important to be gentle with wherever you are at in your process.
