Aligned Counseling LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCMH, LPC-MHSP
Grief and loss is not just the loss of a person - you can experience grief when a friendship shifts to a new normal, a job ends, or you move away from your beloved home. Feelings of loss can arise when you least expect them to because grief doesn't look the same for everyone. I'll create space for your grief while we process how to move forward with the loss - instead of moving on from it.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
There are many different things that we grieve but it is a necessary process to regaining our lives. Working through the grief is optimal because often grief can hang onto use for a very long time

Loss and Grief: Honoring the Unfinished Narrative
Integrating the Absence, Reclaiming the Self
Grief is not a task to be completed or a set of stages to be "checked off." It is a profound, systemic reorganization of your world. When we lose a loved one, a career, a dream, or a community, our attachment system goes into a state of high alarm. In my practice, I provide a courageous and sturdy space to carry the weight of your loss, helping you move from the initial shock and shut down toward a place of integrated healing.
The Multi-Layered Nature of Loss
Grief often impacts every part of our "system"—biological, psychological, and social. We work together to navigate:
The "Grief Fog": Addressing the cognitive overwhelm, memory lapses, and exhaustion that characterize the early months of loss.
Complicated & Disenfranchised Grief: Validating losses that society may not fully "see"—such as the loss of a pet, a divorce, or the "ambiguous loss" of a loved one still living but changed by illness or addiction.
Spiritual Deconstruction through Loss: Using my Master of Divinity to explore the profound "spiritual disillusionment" that often follows a tragic loss, providing a safe harbor for your anger, doubt, and questions of meaning.
A Systems-Rooted Path to Healing
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate specialized modalities to help you process your grief without being consumed by it:
EMDR for Traumatic Loss: If your loss was sudden, violent, or particularly distressing, we use EMDR to process the "stuck" images and sensations, allowing your nervous system to move out of a permanent state of "survival mode."
Attachment & Continuing Bonds: We use Attachment Theory to help you find healthy ways to maintain a "continuing bond" with what was lost, transforming a painful absence into a meaningful presence in your internal world.
Somatic Support: Grief lives in the body. We focus on regulating your nervous system to prevent burnout and ensure you stay within your Window of Tolerance as you navigate your deepest emotions.
Healers in Mourning
I have a specialized focus on therapists and pastors experiencing loss. When you are the "professional mourner" or the community’s source of strength, finding a space to be the one who is falling apart is difficult. I provide that confidential sanctuary where you can be a human in grief, rather than a leader in control.
