​Grief Counseling: Healing After Loss
Does your grief feel overwhelming—like life will never feel joyful again?
After the death of a loved one, it's common to go through intense emotional waves. Shock may come first, but when it fades, emotions like anger, sadness, guilt, or numbness can settle in. You may be left wondering if you'll ever feel “normal” again.
​
If you are experiencing:
-
Persistent sadness or emotional pain
-
Anger, guilt, or confusion
-
Difficulty coping with daily life
-
Troubling thoughts or feeling stuck in your grief
​
Therapy can help you make sense of what you’re feeling and find a way forward. Grief counseling is not about “moving on” or forgetting your loved one—it’s about honoring their memory while learning to live again with hope and purpose.
​
In our sessions, I’ll provide a safe, compassionate space where you can:
-
Process the pain of your loss
-
Understand the emotional stages of grief
-
Develop healthy ways to cope and heal
-
Reconnect with life while holding space for your loved one’s memory
​
I will work with you to create a personalized therapy plan that respects your grief journey and helps you move toward emotional healing.
​
Please reach out to schedule your first session. You don’t have to walk through this pain alone.
