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.
Also Integrated In Our Work:

Nancee Belshaw
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Losing someone you love, or experiencing another profound loss, can change the way you see yourself and the world around you. Grief is deeply personal, and there is no single correct way or timetable for healing. I offer a compassionate space where you can express your sadness, anger, confusion, or loneliness without feeling pressured to move on. Together, we can honor the significance of your loss while helping you gradually rediscover meaning, connection, and the possibility of joy in your life.

Grief
Anna Schick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Losing someone you love, the end of a meaningful relationship, changes in your health, or the loss of a life you once imagined can bring feelings of sadness, anger, loneliness, and uncertainty. Grief looks different for everyone, and there is no right way or timeline for moving through it. You may feel overwhelmed by your emotions, struggle to adjust to everyday life, or find that your grief brings up feelings and experiences from the past. Therapy offers a space to talk openly about your loss, make sense of what you're feeling, and find ways to move forward without feeling that you have to leave behind what matters to you.
