Grief and loss support
AREA OF EXPERTISE

Grief & loss

Grief changes us. Whether you’ve lost a person, a relationship, health, a role, or a future you expected, therapy can offer a steady place to process what’s happened and find a way to carry it with more gentleness.

COMMON SIGNS

When grief starts taking over.

Grief can show up emotionally, physically, and socially. Some common experiences include:

  • Deep sadness, tearfulness, or feeling emotionally “raw”
  • Numbness, disbelief, or feeling disconnected from life
  • Anger, irritability, or resentment (at people, systems, or fate)
  • Guilt, regret, or “if only…” thoughts
  • Anxiety about safety, health, or future loss
  • Sleep disruption, fatigue, appetite changes, or brain fog
  • Difficulty focusing, working, or keeping up with daily demands
  • Feeling isolated, misunderstood, or not wanting to burden others

If grief is impacting your ability to function, connect, or feel steady, therapy can help you feel supported and less alone.
