Losing a loved one is never easy and there's no "normal" way to grieve. Sometimes, though, the process can become too much to work through alone and it helps to talk to someone. I approach grief as I do others client needs, with the idea that treatment is best if it is suited to individual needs and preferences.
I have extensive experience supporting clients who are grieving the loss of a loved one. It can be challenging to move forward when we're stuck in narratives like "I could have done something" or "It's my fault." Even when we know these thoughts aren't true, they can still deeply affect us, and talking alone may not help. If this resonates with you, I can help using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a technique that calms the nervous system and helps you reframe painful memories, allowing you to create a healthier narrative when reflecting on the past.

Loss or grief- the act or experience of losing something or someone meaningful and valuable. When something you care deeply for is ripped away (expectedly or unexpectedly), the emotional reaction you have is called grief. Grief can be weird sometimes because it doesn't always make sense. Sometimes you feel ok and in the next moment you feel like you're about to fall apart. Its hard isn't it? Don't do it alone.
I have the privilege of seeing tremendous results using my training, experience, and resources with those I have the honor of working with who have the challenge of losing a loved one or relationship.
