When the world keeps moving, but yours has stopped
Experiencing a significant loss in your life can change you forever.
The death of someone you love can leave you feeling like the world no longer makes sense. One moment you are remembering a conversation, hearing a song, or smelling a familiar scent and suddenly the grief feels as fresh as the day it happened.
For some people, it becomes difficult to even think about the person they lost because the pain feels unbearable. For others, life appears to continue. They return to work, care for their families, attend celebrations, and keep showing up for everyone else, while quietly carrying an ache no one can see.
Neither experience is wrong.
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and there is no “right” way to mourn someone whose absence has forever changed your life.
When Grief Isn’t About Death
Not every loss is a death, but that doesn't mean it can't leave you grieving.
You may be grieving a relationship that ended, a friendship that changed, a pregnancy or hoped-for future that didn't unfold as you imagined, a career or role you had to leave behind, or a version of yourself that no longer fits the life you're living.
These losses can be difficult to name, especially when the people around you don't recognize them as something to grieve. You may even question whether you're “allowed” to feel this much pain.
You are.
If something mattered to you, its loss can matter deeply.
When life changes, you may grieve what was
Not every life transition begins with a loss you can easily name. Sometimes a new chapter brings uncertainty, mixed emotions, or a sense that the life you knew no longer quite fits. Whether you're becoming a mother, navigating the end of a relationship, adjusting to an empty nest, changing careers, or entering a new stage of adulthood, you may find yourself grieving what you're leaving behind while trying to understand what comes next. These transitions can challenge your sense of identity, relationships, and what you thought your life would look likeand you don't have to navigate those changes alone.
When grief changes how you see yourself
Grief can change more than what you do each day. It can change how you understand yourself.
You may find yourself wondering:
Who am I now?
What does my life look like without them?
What do I want now that the future I imagined has changed?
Why don't I feel like the person I used to be?
You don't have to force yourself back into who you were before your loss. Sometimes grief becomes part of the story of who you are becoming.
Therapy can offer a space to explore that change without rushing to define what comes next.
Grief can change your relationships, too
Loss can affect the way you connect with the people around you.
You may feel misunderstood when others seem ready for you to “move on.” You might find yourself pulling away, struggling to talk about your loss, or feeling frustrated when people don't know what you need.
Sometimes the people closest to you are grieving too, but in very different ways.
We can explore how grief is affecting your relationships, communication, boundaries, and sense of connection while making room for the fact that there is no single way to grieve.
How I Approach Grief Therapy
I don't believe grief is something you need to get over or leave behind.
My approach is grounded in compassion, patience, and respect for your individual experience. Before we talk about coping strategies, I want to understand your loss, your relationship with who or what you've lost, and how that loss has changed your life.
Together, we'll make space for the emotions, memories, questions, and changes that come with grief. Depending on your needs and goals, our work may include approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-based interventions.
The goal isn't to erase your grief or tell you when you should feel better. It's to help you understand your experience, care for yourself as you grieve, and find ways to continue living while honoring what and who matters to you.
You don't have to minimize what you've lost.
Whether you're grieving someone you love or a part of your life that has changed, your grief deserves space.
There is no timeline you have to follow and no version of yourself you have to return to.
We can make space for what has changed while gently exploring who you're becoming.
