Grief Counseling
First, I want to welcome you. Grief can feel like a beast, a street fight, a never-ending black hole. I know how deeply painful, disorienting, infuriating, and overwhelming this time can be. Oof, it’s just so much.
I’m here to tell you that your grief matters, that it is important. And I say this from firsthand experience. Much of our culture shies away from grief and loss. We aren’t taught how to be with these big feelings. I want to share with you what I’ve learned.
I also want you to know that you will not always feel this way. That your relationship with grief can change, shift, and move. We can learn to co-exist with our grief rather than push it away.
There is no Timeline
There are often social pressures and perceived timelines around how grieving should go. We can be quite hard on ourselves during this already difficult time.
No matter how long ago your loss occurred, or how deeply you are still hurting your grief is allowed to be here. We grieve as deeply as we love. It needs to be honored and allowed to transform.
Whether you are angry, deeply sad, detached, or totally confused, I can handle it all. Read more to learn what sessions are like…
What do sessions look like?
Our sessions can look many different ways. I emphasize meeting you wherever you are in your process. So if you’re sad, that is welcome. If you are angry, let’s explore that.
I also find that pacing is really important. Spending time talking about your loss can be relieving. It can also be activating. Finding the balance and resourcing so you can process your big emotions safely is my priority.
I incorporate a variety of modalities that include somatic work, parts work, mindfulness exercises, and grounding techniques. Yes, we will have plenty of space to talk, connect, and explore. We will also begin to connect with the body where much of our grief can reside.
I offer both in-person and virtual 50-minutes sessions. Email me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.
