Grief & Bereavement Counseling

Moving through the experience of loss requires courage and support.

How does therapy help?

Navigating the uncertainty of grief & loss.

Often the experience of grief disorients and overwhelms. Whether the loss was sudden or expected, it changes the orientation of our lives and can be difficult to navigate. Therapy offers a space to be with the full complexity of the experience. It’s a space for honoring memories, feeling the feelings, and moving towards peace and acceptance. This work also opens the door to hope and an unfolding of a new normal.

  • "There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love."

    Washington Irving

  • "Grief is itself a medicine."

    William Cowper

  • "Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve."

    Earl Grollman
