Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Grief rearranges the landscape of our life often disorienting and painful. It’s important to know how to attend to your grief and give it the time and space it needs. I have extensive clinical experience supporting individuals grieving a death or coping with a life-limiting illness as well as providing individual and group support for those healing from PTSD and death related trauma issues.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Grief is not limited to death, nor does it move neatly toward closure. We grieve people, relationships, health, identity, safety, missed opportunities, imagined futures, and versions of life that will never exist as expected. Loss can bring sorrow, anger, guilt, relief, numbness, longing, and even moments of joy without any one feeling canceling another. Therapy does not ask you to “move on” or reduce someone meaningful to a lesson. It offers room to understand what has been altered, maintain connection to what mattered, and learn how to carry the loss without allowing it to consume every part of the life that remains.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no "right" way to move through it. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a career, changes in your health, or the life you expected to have, grief can bring overwhelming emotions that affect every aspect of your daily life. You may experience sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, loneliness, or a sense of being stuck, wondering if life will ever feel the same again. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process your loss without judgment or pressure to "move on." Healing from grief isn't about forgetting or letting go of the person or experience that mattered to you—it's about learning how to carry your loss while finding ways to move forward with meaning and hope.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, navigate life changes, and make space for both grief and healing. When grief is complicated by trauma, sudden loss, or unresolved experiences, therapy can help you safely process those memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
We recognize that grief extends beyond death. Many people experience profound grief following divorce, infertility, miscarriage, the loss of a beloved pet, estrangement from family, retirement, chronic illness, or major life transitions. Whatever your loss, your feelings are valid, and you deserve support through the healing process. Although grief may always remain a part of your story, it does not have to define your future. Together, we'll help you honor what you've lost, reconnect with your strengths, and gradually create space for healing, resilience, and hope while carrying the memories and meaning that matter most.
