When Loss Changes Everything
Grief isn’t just about death — it’s about all the moments when life changes in ways we didn’t choose. The end of a relationship, a shift in health, the loss of a loved one, or even a transition that brings both relief and sadness can leave us feeling disoriented and alone. Grief is not a problem to fix. It’s a natural, healthy process — but it can feel unbearable when you’re living through it. You may notice waves of emotion that come without warning, moments of guilt or anger, or times when you wonder if you’ll ever feel “normal” again.
I’ve worked in the field of grief and bereavement for over a decade, supporting people as they navigate the complex mix of emotions that come with loss. Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, I’ll help you make space for your feelings while also building tools to:
Process guilt, regret, and “what ifs” that can keep you stuck
Understand and normalize the changing rhythms of grief
Reconnect with moments of peace, purpose, and meaning
Honor your loss while rediscovering your capacity for joy and connection
Grief is deeply personal, and healing doesn’t mean forgetting — it means learning to live fully while carrying your memories with love. Together, we’ll move gently between sorrow and strength, always at your pace.
I BELIEVE:
Grief is love that has nowhere to go — and it deserves compassion, not correction.
There’s no right timeline for healing. You’re allowed to take your time.
Sadness and hope can coexist; they often do.
Meaning can be rebuilt, even after profound loss.
Healing grows in spaces of safety, warmth, and shared humanity.

Loss or Grief
Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Grief is a natural response to loss, yet it often feels overwhelming and isolating. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or a major life transition, therapy can provide space to process the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that follow loss. My background includes grief-focused training and facilitating bereavement groups, and I approach this work with deep respect for the personal pace and meaning-making that grief requires.
