Grief & Life Transitions
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and loss takes many forms. When the ground shifts beneath you, therapy can offer steadiness, direction, and a space to find your way back to yourself.
Grief Takes Many Forms
Grief is not only about death. I work with adults navigating:
- Bereavement and loss of a loved one
- Divorce and the end of significant relationships
- Career loss, layoff, or identity shifts around work
- Loss of health, physical capacity, or a future you had planned
- The grief of estrangement or family rupture
- Disenfranchised grief — loss that others don't recognize or validate
- Ambiguous grief, where the loss is real but without clear closure
When Change Feels Destabilizing
Not all significant transitions involve loss of a person, but they can still shake your sense of who you are and where you're going. I work with adults navigating:
- Retirement and the loss of professional identity
- Becoming a parent or a caregiver
- Relocation and the loss of community and belonging
- Leaving religion, family systems, or long-held identities
- Midlife questioning and the pressure of “what now?”
How Therapy Helps You Move Through
Grief doesn't resolve by moving past it. It resolves by moving through it. Therapy gives you a place to feel what you feel, make meaning of what happened, and begin to carry your loss in a way that doesn't stop your life.
In our work together, you'll gain space to grieve without judgment, tools to navigate the waves of loss, and a path toward a life that honors what you've been through while remaining open to what comes next.
Why EMDR Helps
When grief becomes complicated or stuck — when you find yourself unable to move forward despite time passing — it often means the loss is being held in the nervous system in a way that needs more than conversation. EMDR therapy can help your brain process the difficult memories and emotions connected to loss, allowing you to grieve without becoming frozen in it.
Who This Work Is For
- Feel stuck in grief that hasn't moved despite time passing
- Struggle to make sense of who you are after a major loss or change
- Find that grief is affecting your relationships, work, or daily functioning
- Feel alone in your grief, or like others don't understand what you lost
- Want support that meets you where you are, without pushing you to “move on”
There is no right timeline for grief. You're not behind.
What You Can Expect
You'll have a therapist who understands that grief is not a problem to fix but a life to move through. I won't rush you or minimize what you've lost. I'll offer a steady, compassionate presence and practical support for the days when it feels heaviest.
This is a space where your loss is honored, your pain is valid, and your capacity to find your footing again is real.
