Grief and Loss Counseling
Supportive therapy for individuals navigating grief after the loss of a loved one, miscarriage,
or the loss of a wanted pregnancy, offering a compassionate space to process complex emotions.
Gentle support through difficult loss
Grief can show up in numerous ways, and certain losses carry layers of emotions that are hard to articulate. Whether you are grieving the sudden death of a family member or the loss of a pregnancy you deeply hoped for, these experiences can touch every aspect of your life.
It can seem as if there is a lot of pressure on you to move on or even minimize their emotions, especially when others around you may not completely comprehend the depth of the loss. Therapy provides the space in which your sorrow is treated with patience and sensitivity.
You do not have to navigate these emotions alone. Grief counseling can help you cope with the loss and pain and slowly learn how to carry your memories and experiences with more knowledge and compassion.

Does this sound familiar?
People often seek grief counseling when they are carrying emotions that feel difficult to process on their own.
- Feeling overwhelmed while coping with a pregnancy loss
- Struggling with sadness, anger, or confusion after a loss
- Feeling isolated or misunderstood in your grief
- Wanting a safe place to talk about the complicated nature of your relationship and how that impacts how you grieve.
- Experiencing a disenfranchised grief where society has deemed your loss unimportant or invalid.
Why grief counseling can help?
Grief does not follow a clear timeline, and every individual experiences it differently. Counseling can help create a safe environment in which you can process your emotions, reflect on your loss and take your time to get through grief.
How I help my clients
Loss of a loved one
The loss of a loved one can make you feel completely disoriented, particularly in circumstances in which the loss was sudden or unexpected. This emotional experience can go far beyond the initial moment of loss, and can influence relationships, routines, and your sense of stability.
Therapy offers you a space where you can have an opportunity to talk freely about the person you lost and the feelings that you still experience.
- Processing grief after an unexpected or complicated loss
- Talking about memories and the meaning of the relationship
- Navigating feelings of shock, sadness, or anger
- Understanding how a complicated or traumatic relationship with the person you are grieving can affect your grieving process
- Finding supportive ways to honor the person you lost
Miscarriage
For individuals who have struggled with fertility challenges or undergone treatments such as IVF, miscarriage can carry an additional emotional weight. Therapy can provide a space to process these experiences with care and understanding.
Miscarriage often brings a deeper sense of loss for those who have had fertility difficulties or have undergone procedures like IVF. Depending on the circumstances of the miscarriage, a D&C procedure may have been required. I have extensive experience working at a women’s surgery center, which provided these procedures. Therapy can allow one to be able to process these experiences thoughtfully and compassionately.
- Processing the emotional impact of pregnancy loss
- Navigating grief after miscarriage
- Talking about fertility struggles and repeated losses
- Coping with complicated feelings of sadness, anger, or guilt
- Looking for a pro-choice and non-faith-based grief counselor with expertise in miscarriages.
Pregnancy anomalies
Some pregnancy losses occur when a serious anomaly is discovered during pregnancy. For many individuals and families, these are deeply wanted pregnancies, making the loss especially complex and painful.
In some cases, medical procedures such as D&C or D&E may be necessary following the diagnosis of an anomaly. Having previously worked at a women’s surgery center in Dallas, I supported many women navigating these situations and understand the profound grief that can accompany these decisions.
- Processing the loss of a wanted pregnancy
- Talking through the emotional and physical impact of medical procedures such as D&C or D&E
- Navigating grief after difficult pregnancy decisions
- Finding support when others may not fully understand the loss
- Wanting to process a pregnancy loss with a pro-choice and non-faith-based therapist
