Grief Therapy
Finding your way through the wilderness of loss
Grief has a thousand faces. Sometimes it shows up as tears that won’t stop. Other times it hides in your body—a tight chest, a heavy fatigue, a restlessness you can’t explain. Maybe it looks like irritability or numbness, or like going through the motions of life while feeling far away from everything that once mattered.
Whether you’re mourning the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a role, a dream, your health, or even a former version of yourself—your grief is valid. And you don’t have to face it alone.
In therapy, we’ll create space for your experience, exactly as it is. No timelines. No platitudes. No pushing through.
I work from a blend of approaches that honor the full complexity of loss:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): We’ll explore the different “parts” of you that are responding to grief—like the one that’s falling apart, the one trying to hold everything together, or the one that doesn’t want to feel anything at all. Each part has its reasons. We’ll listen with curiosity and compassion.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Together, we’ll practice gently allowing what you’re feeling, while reconnecting with the values that still matter to you—even in the midst of pain. You don’t have to choose between grieving and living. We can make room for both.
Somatic work: Loss isn’t just something we think about—it’s something we feel. We’ll tune in to how your grief shows up in your body and nervous system, and help you find ways to release tension, soothe overwhelm, and feel a little more at home in yourself.
Grief changes us. But it can also open us—sometimes slowly, sometimes unexpectedly—toward tenderness, connection, and a different kind of strength.
There’s no right way to grieve, but there are ways to feel more supported and less alone.
If you’re ready, or even just curious, I’d be honored to walk with you.
