Breakups, Divorce, and Grief

The end of a relationship or the loss of something or someone important can leave you questioning who you are, what comes next, and how to move forward. Whether you're navigating a breakup, divorce, the death of a loved one, or another significant loss, therapy together offers room to process what's happened, make sense of what you're experiencing, and gradually reconnect with yourself and hold the uncertainty with care and curiosity.

I offer counseling for adults going through these life-changing moments of grief and reconstruction in, providing a container to process what’s been lost and begin to make sense of what remains.

What this might look like

  • A recent breakup

  • Divorce

  • Grieving the death of someone important

  • Dating after divorce

  • Feeling lost after a relationship ends

  • Difficulty trusting yourself again

  • Loneliness

  • Anxiety about starting over

  • Loss of identity

  • Feeling emotionally numb

  • Letting go of the future you imagined

How can therapy help

Loss is not something to fix or move past quickly. In our work, we slow down and invite the full experience and expression of loss and uncertainty, from anger and sadness to relief and anxiety. Part of grieving is often grieving the future you thought you were going to have.

Together, we might:

  • Make sense of overwhelming emotions

  • Understand how loss has affected your relationships

  • Rebuild trust in yourself

  • Navigate dating after a breakup or divorce

  • Develop routines that support healing

  • Stay connected to your values while rebuilding your life

Moving at your own pace

Grief can contain seemingly contradictory experiences: missing someone and being angry with them, wanting your old life back while knowing you can't return to it, feeling devastated one day and surprisingly okay the next. Therapy gives us somewhere to make room for those contradictions without requiring you to resolve them prematurely.
