Grief and Loss Therapy in Texas & California

Heal from pain. Reconnect to meaning.

Grief is one of the most difficult aspects of life.

During times of grief, words often fall short in capturing the depth of big emotions that you may be experiencing.

Navigating the path of bereavement is a uniquely personal and challenging experience. You may be grappling with a range of emotions including sadness, anger, regret or even guilt. Or, maybe you are feeling lost or confused, unsure of how to move forward.

Often, these feelings come in intense waves or during inopportune moments. One of the hardest aspects of grief is its unpredictable nature and depth of pain.

The heaviness of loss can be isolating, but please understand that you don't have to do this alone. Together, we'll weather the waves of sorrow and honor the memories that are an integral part of your story. 

You’re struggling with:

  • Big emotions, including crying spells, that are sometimes out of nowhere

  • Isolation, including others not understanding the depth of your loss

  • Regret, sadness or feelings of guilt

  • Others “moving on”, while you are still in pain

  • Headaches, trouble sleeping, or lack of focus

  • Memories that leave you shaken and sad

  • Loss of your identity or role in life
