Grief

2037538571None of us can avoid it.

Everything’s going along smoothly: You’re progressing toward your goals and feel mentally and physically stable.

But then, out of nowhere, a loved one passes away – or you’re being let go from your job – or you have to say goodbye to a beloved pet – or a significant relationship ends…

At first, loved ones check in, bring meals, and offer their support.

But that support fades in time as they resume their lives.

Getting back to life…

After your loss, yours feels frozen…. stuck on repeat.

You’ve probably said to yourself more than once, “I don’t understand why I’m not feeling better now…”

… as if there’s a specific date and time by which you should be “over it.”

“I should be out there socializing, making friends, or picking up new hobbies…”

… as if these activities could somehow heal your grief.

Grief can’t be avoided. It’s a journey we all must take at some point.

And it can’t be rushed. It’s a process that unfolds at its own pace.

It’s personal and complex, and it’s a journey that requires you to be patient, kind, and compassionate with yourself.

Grief is a challenging journey of pain, loss, and sorrow. It’s understandable to feel alone or that you’re wandering through it aimlessly.

It’s a tumultuous time, but it’s also an opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth.

Therapy can help you heal and transform.

Working through the complex and often overwhelming emotions that come with grief can be exceedingly difficult. I’m here to help you navigate that terrain.

You need a professional with whom you can openly discuss your feelings without worrying about judgment or managing others’ emotions.

Here, you’ll come to understand your grief, tap into your inner resilience, rediscover yourself, and face the future with strength.
