Grief & Loss Therapy

Grief and loss can change everything. Whether the loss is recent or many years old, it can live quietly in the body and heart, shaping how you move through the world, your relationships, and your sense of safety. At Glow Mental Health, grief therapy is a space where your experience is honored, not rushed, minimized, or judged.

This work is deeply rooted in my professional background. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent years working as a cancer nurse in palliative care and hospice settings, supporting individuals and families through profound transitions and end-of-life care. That experience continues to shape how I hold grief today: with gentleness, presence, and deep respect for how personal and layered it can be.

Grief is not only about death. It can also include:

• The loss of a loved one, relationship, or pregnancy

• Living with unresolved feelings after someone has passed

• Loss of health, identity, or a future you once imagined

• Estranged relationships or complicated goodbyes

• Words left unsaid or emotions that never had space to be expressed

Sometimes grief is overwhelming and visible. Other times it is quiet and hidden, showing up as anxiety, numbness, guilt, anger, or a sense of disconnection. Therapy offers a space to gently explore what has been carried alone.

I use an integrative, client-centered approach to grief therapy, drawing from modalities such as EMDR, CBT, ACT, and compassion-focused and trauma-informed practices. EMDR may be incorporated when helpful, particularly for memories or experiences that feel emotionally stuck, but therapy is always guided by your needs, comfort, and pace.

Grief therapy can support you in:

• Processing unresolved emotions or complicated relationships

• Expressing what feels too heavy to hold on your own

• Making space for multiple emotions to coexist

• Reconnecting with meaning, identity, and a sense of self

• Finding a way to honor your loss while continuing forward

There is no timeline for grief and no “correct” way to move through it. Your experience is valid exactly as it is.

At Glow Mental Health, grief therapy is about creating a steady, compassionate space where your story is witnessed, your emotions are welcomed, and healing unfolds in a way that feels safe and authentic to you.
