Grief and Loss Counseling

Grief can come from what was, what never was, or what will never be. It can be confusing and isolating—especially when others don’t see it or understand it as “grief.” These life-altering losses deserve to be acknowledged, mourned, and witnessed.

Grief is not only about death. We grieve many types of loss in life:

Divorce or breakup
Loss of a job or career identity
The loss of a dream or future you hoped for
Estrangement from family

In grief and loss counseling, we work together to:

Name and make sense of your emotional experience
Understand how grief is showing up in your body and daily life
Create space to process your pain—without pressure to “move on”
Find ways to honor your loss while beginning to reconnect with yourself

Grief is not a problem to solve. It’s a process to move through—with support.

Relational Trauma Counseling

Relational trauma often begins in childhood—especially in dysfunctional family systems where emotional needs were ignored, minimized, or punished. This type of trauma is sometimes called C-PTSD (Complex PTSD) or Developmental Trauma because it impacts how we develop emotionally and how we relate to others throughout life.

The effects of this kind of trauma can look like:

difficulty trusting others
feeling unworthy of love
people-pleasing
constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop

Though it may seem otherwise – these are not character flaws. They’re survival strategies that once helped you cope. Healing from relational trauma is not about blaming the past. It’s about giving yourself the care, validation, and emotional safety you’ve always deserved.

In relational trauma counseling, we work together to:

Understanding your trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn)
Exploring how your past affects your current relationships and self-worth
Reclaiming your sense of safety, agency, and emotional boundaries
Learning to give yourself what you didn’t receive from your caregivers
Developing self-compassion, self-trust, and a more stable inner voice
