Therapy for the Overwhelmed Mind
Grief and Loss Therapy Bellingham, WA
“My grief says that I dared to love, that I allowed another to enter the very core of my being and find a home in my heart. Grief is akin to praise; it is how the soul recounts the depth to which someone has touched our lives. To love is to accept the rites of grief.” - Francis Weller
People say, "You should be over this by now." You feel intensely alone and not validated in your experience. Your chest aches and the tears threaten to swallow you whole. It just hasn't felt safe enough to grieve.
You just went through the hardest break-up or divorce and it feels impossible to even get out of bed in the morning. Who are you without this relationship? It feels like the very ground beneath your feet was ripped away.
Grief doesn’t follow a specific path, and it doesn’t always look the way we expect. Whether you’re navigating the loss of a loved one, or a significant life change, the weight of it can feel isolating and overwhelming. I offer a space where your grief is met with care, on your own timeline.
Who could benefit:
-
Those grieving the death of a loved one (recent or long ago)
-
People experiencing anticipatory grief (before an expected loss)
-
Those navigating complicated or unresolved grief (i.e. adoption wounding)
-
Anyone feeling stuck, numb, or overwhelmed in their grief process
-
Individuals facing major life transitions (divorce, illness, identity shifts) that carry grief
-
People who feel alone in their grief or misunderstood by others
-
Caregivers or professionals carrying cumulative loss or burnout
