THERAPY FOR
Grief, Loss & Complicated Bereavement
Grief is not only about death. It can also arise from endings that were never fully acknowledged, changes that arrived too quickly, or losses that did not have space to be processed. Sometimes grief can be a difficult or absent childhood or a loss of identity. Even paths in life appearing unexpectedly.
Grief can be emotional, physical, and disorienting. It often shows up in waves rather than a straight line. Grief does not always look like sadness. It can also appear as numbness, irritability, fatigue, or emotional disconnection. Grief often becomes complicated when there is pressure—internal or external—to move on before you are ready.
You may relate if you:
Feel emotionally heavy or unclear inside
Experience waves of grief that come and go
Feel changed in ways you can’t fully explain
Struggle with guilt, regret, or unresolved emotions
Feel stuck rather than “moving forward”
How would therapy help?
Therapy provides space to process grief at its own pace, without forcing resolution. Together, we focus on:
making space for emotions that feel difficult or layered
understanding your personal grief experience
integrating loss into your life story
reducing emotional avoidance or numbness
supporting meaning-making without rushing healing
Grief is not something to eliminate. It is something to learn how to carry with more support and less isolation.
My approach is integrative, which means I draw from different therapeutic perspectives rather than expecting one approach to fit everyone. Together, we’ll find what fits you. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced. We move at a speed that helps you feel safe enough to notice patterns without becoming overwhelmed by them.
What approach do you use?
I integrate Attachment-Based therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Relational therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, and Somatic and Nervous System Regulation.
Grief is not something to eliminate. It is something to learn how to carry with more support and less isolation.
What will healing look and feel like?
There’s no one size fits all answer to therapy, but over time, grief often becomes less acute and more integrated. People may notice:
fewer overwhelming waves of emotion
more capacity to remember without being flooded
increased emotional clarity
a sense of connection rather than isolation in grief
Therapy isn’t about showing up in crisis or finding an instant solution. It’s a dedication and investment in yourself. You deserve to find who you are without depending on someone to define that for you.
