Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
There is no one way to experience grief and loss. While universal, the pain of loss can be devastating. We may feel anger, sadness, shock, guilt, relief, loneliness, numbness (just to name a few) and endless combinations of these. I will help you process these difficult emotions in a safe, nonjudgemental space, helping guide you toward a greater understanding of “how to rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.” (Quote from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Losing a loved one to suicide is a traumatic experience that turns your world upside down. Suicide brings shock, grief, heartbreak, and pain. Feelings of denial, anger, guilt, yearning or despair wash over you and can get in the way of daily life; leaving you feeling hopeless about the future. Each day you struggle, wading through the fog and aftermath, feeling overwhelmed by day to day tasks. You’re exhausted mentally, physically, emotionally and find yourself unexpectedly triggered by thoughts and memories.
Maybe you wish you would have had more time together, or you feel regret for setting boundaries in your relationship, only to have it come to this end. Each day you wake asking yourself if it was all a dream, only to remember it wasn’t and tumble right back into feelings of sadness and despair.
Compassionate grief counseling creates a space where you can unpack and sort through the overwhelming feelings of grief. We’ll work together to build a path and a culture of healing that works best for you, and the fog you’re feeling will begin to lift. You’ll start to sleep and eat again. The pain and misery will ease, and making decisions get easier, life will become more manageable in the day to day. In time, you will feel stronger, be able to renew relationships and find new ways to move through life while honoring your loved one.

Loss or Grief
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief is a season without end. It consumes, suffocates, diffuses. It is days of silence. It is unfeeling as a stone. It is raw as a volcano, erupting, tears for hours on end. Grief and loss are also incredibly human experiences. They confirm that we are living, feeling, complex creatures capable of more. Our capacity for grief is commiserate with our capacity for love.

Peggy Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, OTR/L
The amount of grief and loss in our lives has increased with this pandemic. It is something we can't ignore any longer. Grief is something that lingers as an emptiness in our heart. What helps is to express that loss with others and find ways to creatively identify it. I will help you to find ways to honor the loss and always hold those memories in your heart.
