Grief & Loss
Helping someone grieve is not about fixing them, but to walk alongside them with empathy.
Grief can hurt like nothing else.
It’s not linear or tidy. It comes in waves—sometimes all at once, sometimes not at all. People often wonder if they’re grieving “right.” But there is no correct way to grieve.
There’s a place for it all: sorrow, rage, confusion, guilt, numbness. Whatever you’re feeling—or not feeling—is all welcome here.
Grief needs space, and support.
Our culture often treats grief like something to be fixed or hurried through. But I think our healing needs time, witnessing, and presence.
In therapy, I offer a gentle space to:
- Sit with or talk about grief without needing to make it smaller
- Allow the body process the loss
- Honor what was lost and what may want to be remembered
- Explore grief as sacred, not shameful
- Identify when grief has elements of trauma that may need deeper care
- Anything else that may arise
It’s an expression of love.
Grief can take many forms—mourning a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or even something we never had to begin with. Each of these experiences deserves compassion and respect.
In therapy, there is space for whatever arises: tears, silence, laughter at memories that still bring warmth, or simply sitting with the unknown. There is no single “right” way to grieve.
Even though things may feel heavy–maybe unbearably so–I trust the light will return.
