Have you lost a loved one, or has your life changed drastically? I can help you by creating a safe space that has room for all your feelings so that you can start to process them.
Navigating grief and loss can be challenging and requires a lot of energy and courage. I truly believe navigating grief and loss is something that should not be done alone. I enjoy created a safe space for clients during times of loss no matter the nuance of what it is.
We often think of losing a loved one but sometimes loss and grief come as we lose things that have defined us, shaped us and been important. We can lose parts of who we are, lose relationships or find ourselves grieving lost dreams. However, this takes shape for you I will provide the space you need to feel supported and empowered to make sense of however loss shows up in your life.
Unfortunately, we live in an age of excess uncertainty due to violence, natural disaster, disease, war and various health issues. Loss of loved ones or others close to us can lead to uncomplicated or complicated grief. I help clients accept and process the emotions and life changes caused by unexpected or anticipated loss.
Grief is the one emotion that even emotionally 'tough' people can't push down. Therapy can help you process your grief so you no longer have to carry it alone. We can explore the relationship you had with the person who died, including both the positive and negative aspects. We will attempt to make sense of the death so you can let go of all the 'what ifs.' We can find a way to help you move forward instead of feeling like time has stopped.
Providing compassionate support as you navigate the complex emotions associated with loss is vital. Working through loss often involves processing feelings, developing coping strategies and finding meaning in your experience. Expressing and reframing your stories of loss often can help move you towards healing and acceptance. By creating a safe and empathetic space, therapy aids in the journey towards emotional adjustment and the eventual restoration of a sense of normality and hope.
