Express and process your pain.
Grief therapy in Flower Mound and across Texas
At some point, grief and loss will knock us down
It can feel incredibly challenging, unfair, and terrifying.
Grief is personal. When our loved ones die, we may feel despair and heartbreak. Or, we may feel angry. Sometimes we feel relief. Grief can feel awful, and it is a normal part of being human.
Grief is not just for mourning those we love. It’s normal to feel deep sorrow and bitter disappointment over the loss of missed opportunities, the job you didn’t get, the loss of health that comes from medical diagnoses, lost connections, broken relationships, missing pets, and life transitions. These are all forms of grief.
There are no rules to grief. Your sorrow is unique to you, your relationships, and your experiences.
Most grief is considered normal, and with time and tears, one day you will notice the pain and bitterness have lessened. However, there are times when we need help accepting deep loss. Our suffering keeps us from living. During these moments of profound heartbreak, sorrow, and confusion, I provide a compassionate and steady hand to hold.

Persistent and overwhelming waves of emotions, such as anger, sadness, and yearning

Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy can help you process intense emotions, develop coping strategies, and find a path toward healing and meaning.
“We bereaved are not alone. We belong to the largest company in all the world – the company of those who have known suffering.”
Understanding Grief and Loss
You're probably familiar with the Kubler-Ross “Stages of Grief” — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Originally created for people coming to terms with their own death, the model is now criticized for its limitations and oversimplification. The latest research into grief shows that we do not grieve in rigid, sequential steps. Grief is much more personal and complicated than that. We grieve on our own terms, in waves or spurts. We shift from accepting the loss and "ready to move on" one day, to shock and disbelief the next. It can feel confusing and never-ending.
Contrary to what you may have heard, there is no timeline for grief. There is no "getting over it" and "moving on". Grief is a normal, awful, healthy part of being human. We gradually learn to adapt to our loss, express our feelings, and live in a new future. It can be very hard and takes time, patience, and self-compassion.
Sometimes, grief can feel overwhelming and prolonged, affecting your ability to function. You may feel a sense of hopelessness and meaninglessness. Maybe you’re turning to alcohol or substances to cope. Therapy can help you move forward at your own pace, helping you accept the loss, and build resilience and hope for the future. Together, we'll explore your emotions, honor memories, find meaning, and learn how to rebuild your life.
