Someone important is gone
The world kept moving after a death, even though your version of it changed completely.

Why am I fine one minute and falling apart the next?
Have you lost someone? Are you currently going through a difficult breakup? Our grief process is about loss (not just death).
Grief can be quiet, angry, confusing, numb, or all of those before lunch. There is no correct schedule for missing a person, a relationship, or the life you expected.
Is this you?
The breakup was a real loss
You are grieving the person, the routine, and a future you had already pictured.
A role or future disappeared
A job, friendship, home, ability, or plan ended, and people may not understand why it hurts this much.
Your feelings keep changing
Sadness gives way to anger, relief, guilt, or numbness. Then the whole cycle changes again.
Everyone expects you to be better
Other people have moved on from asking, but the loss still arrives in ordinary moments.
What we’ll work on
- Putting words to a complicated loss
- Understanding the stages of grief
- Guilt, anger, relief, and numbness
- Anniversaries and unexpected reminders
- Identity after a major loss
- Breakups and relationship endings
- Making space for grief in daily life
How I approach it
In session, I will help you learn about the stages of grief. Learning about grief can help you put words to what you’re experiencing and understand that grief doesn’t follow a straight line. Instead of judging where you “should” be, you can begin recognizing what you need in the moment and allowing yourself to move through the loss at your own pace.
Grief is not linear. We can talk about the person or relationship, the parts you miss, the parts that were complicated, and what life looks like now. You do not have to protect me from the messy version.
One thing to know, even when you get to the acceptance stage, there will be events that take you out of acceptance and into a different stage. This is normal and I can help you navigate it.

Questions
Does grief counseling only apply after a death?
No. Breakups, divorce, job loss, changes in health, lost friendships, and plans that did not happen can all bring grief.
What if I feel relieved as well as sad?
More than one feeling can be true at the same time. Relief does not cancel love, and sadness does not erase the difficult parts.
Should I be past this by now?
Grief does not keep a neat calendar. We can look at what you are carrying now without measuring it against someone else’s timeline.
