Loss or Grief
Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.” ― David Kessler, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief
I align with this quote. Grief and loss come in many forms and ultimately in death. My heart for grief work is being present and holding space to let you experience the full measure of your grief while staying anchored in the here and now. You will drown and then realize you are the ocean.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a compassionate sanctuary for those navigating the profound and often turbulent waters of loss and grief. I understand that grief is not a linear journey but a complex tapestry of emotions that can engulf one's life. With a gentle and empathetic approach, I walk beside you through this journey, honoring your unique experience of loss. Together, we explore the depths of sorrow, seeking to understand and embrace the myriad feelings that come with bereavement. It's a path towards healing, not about moving on, but about finding a way to carry your loss with grace, integrating this profound experience into your life, and rediscovering a sense of wholeness and peace amidst the echoes of what was lost.

Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
When someone you loved dies, it can feel devastating, shocking, tremendously sad, or for some, it might even be a relief. People often have a wide range of feelings related to losing someone they love, including anger, denial, guilt, sadness, depression, emptiness, loneliness, and acceptance. If the person suffered a long time before they passed, their loved ones might also feel gratitude that the person is no longer in pain. Grief can impact your ability to take care of yourself and others—it can affect your sleep, your appetite, your memory, your concentration, your energy level, your motivation, etc.
