Grief

Grief can touch every part of life—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and relationally. Whether your loss is recent or long past, therapy provides a space to honor what you’ve lost, understand your experience, and find ways to carry grief with care rather than isolation.

Grief is a natural response to loss, but it does not follow a predictable timeline or set of stages. It may show up as sadness, numbness, anger, guilt, confusion, longing, or exhaustion. Some days may feel manageable, while others feel overwhelming. Grief can also surface after losses that are less visible, such as the end of a relationship, loss of identity, health changes, infertility, or missed opportunities.

There is no “right way” to grieve. Many people notice shifts in sleep, appetite, concentration, or motivation during grief. Others struggle with intrusive memories, regret, anger, or a sense that life has lost meaning. Grief can also affect relationships, as people around you may not know how to offer support or may expect you to “move on” before you are ready.

These reactions are human responses to loss, not signs of weakness.

Grief therapy may be helpful if you:

  • Have lost a loved one through death

  • Are coping with complicated or traumatic loss

  • Feel stuck, numb, or overwhelmed by grief

  • Experience grief that resurfaces long after a loss

  • Are grieving a non-death loss (relationship, role, health, future)

  • Feel isolated or misunderstood in your grieving process

Our approach to grief therapy is gentle, client-centered, and trauma-informed. We do not rush the process or try to make grief disappear. Instead, we support you in understanding your unique experience and finding ways to integrate loss into your life with compassion.

Therapy may include:

  • Grief-informed counseling

  • Processing complicated emotions

  • Meaning-making and narrative exploration

  • Coping strategies for waves of grief

  • Supporting identity and life transitions after loss

In therapy, we may focus on creating space for your grief, reducing feelings of isolation, and helping you navigate daily life alongside loss. Many clients also work on honoring memories, addressing unresolved feelings, rebuilding routines, and reconnecting with purpose or connection when ready.
