Life has changed in ways you might never have imagined.
Grief is a natural response to loss, and it can come in many forms. It’s the emotional, mental, and sometimes physical pain we feel when we lose someone or something important to us. Grief is a long and personal journey, but it’s one that you don’t have to travel alone. Grief is personal, unique, and often complex—but no matter what you're feeling, your experience is valid. With support, you can honor your loss, work through your pain, and find ways to live meaningfully again.

Grief Therapy can help!
Grief counseling provides a safe, compassionate space to process your loss. It’s a place to express your emotions, explore your memories, and learn how to navigate life after loss. Counseling doesn’t take the pain away, but it can help you find a path forward and make space for healing.
​
We can also use EMDR Therapy to help process any trauma that has occurred during the loss and significant heightened emotions and stressors. This happens by using bilateral brain stimulation. Essentially, I will guide you to activate the right and left hemispheres of your brain by moving your eyes side to side, or tapping your shoulders with your hands first left then right. By activating both sides of the brain, we can use the brain’s natural healing ability to help you process any feelings experienced from your loss. When the memory is processed you are able to remember the experience but you no longer feel the intense negative emotions around it. We are not taking away the memory of your loved one, instead, allowing you to remember your loved one with peace.
​
Things we can work on in grief therapy:
-
EMDR helps you process traumatic memories associated with loss. It’s especially helpful for those experiencing traumatic grief or those struggling to move past a painful moment related to the loss.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help challenge unhelpful beliefs, such as guilt or regret, and teach you how to respond to your grief in a healthier way. It’s effective in helping you regain control of your thoughts and emotions.
-
Grief often affects the body as well as the mind. Somatic exercises, like deep breathing or grounding techniques, can help release physical tension, reduce anxiety, and bring a sense of calm to your body.
-
There is no timeline for grief, and no "right" or "wrong" way to grieve. In therapy we work towards honoring your loss, honoring the memory of your loved one, and learning to connect and build a new relationship with your loss and the life you have after the loss.
