Grief & Loss Therapy In MI, MA, CO & IL
Ready To Navigate Grief And Loss With Compassion And Support?
Do you feel overwhelmed by the weight of your loss, struggling to find your way through the intense emotions?
Are you grappling with feelings of guilt or regret that prevent you from moving forward?
Do you find it difficult to communicate your grief to those around you, leaving you feeling isolated or misunderstood?
Is the role of your loved one in your life making it hard to connect with others or rediscover joy?
Grief and loss often leave us feeling overwhelmed and lost, even after we seek out support through therapy, support groups, or self-help resources. Despite our efforts to process our feelings, we can feel hopeless and out of control, struggling to find the path back to ourselves. The heartache can feel so heavy that it's tempting to look to others to fill the void—a partner, a friend, or even family members—hoping they will understand our pain and help us heal.
However, placing that responsibility on others can lead to more feelings of shame and isolation. We might hold on to expectations, wishing for a loved one to respond in a specific way, or even to recognize our grief on their own. This can create a distance that makes it harder to move through our pain.
Grief & Loss Therapy Can Help.
It may feel like an overwhelming weight right now, but you can find the space to grieve and process your loss. You can learn to express your emotions openly and allow those around you to support you in your time of need. You can honor your loved one while also taking care of yourself, discovering how to nurture your own needs amidst the pain.

How do I know if Grief & Loss Therapy will work for me?
I can help you determine if grief and loss therapy may benefit you. A persistent heaviness in your heart affecting daily life could signal this path. If daily tasks feel overwhelming or joy is elusive, therapy might support you in processing these feelings.
During therapy, you may become more aware of your emotions and better at expressing them, reducing feelings of isolation and empowering you to communicate your needs. A sign of progress could be a shift in how you view your relationships, recognizing supportive connections.
You might also find resilience, as therapy helps uncover strengths and balance grief with joy. A clearer sense of self, the ability to honor your loved one's memory, and renewed connections with others may indicate that therapy is effective.
