When we experience loss or grief, we are left trying to “remake” life within a new reality. All of a sudden, we are in unfamiliar territory with the realization that change is coming whether we choose it or not.

Anticipatory grief, or grief over impending loss or significant change, can cause feelings of numbness, disbelief, guilt, and sadness. When we work through these emotions as they arise, however difficult it may be, we find healing and hope. We learn to make room for both the sadness and the joy.

Trauma can leave you feeling ungrounded and unable to believe that you will be okay. You may be unable to trust others and find yourself feeling unsafe in the world. Trauma comes in all forms. You may think that if you don’t have a “big T trauma” that you should be able to figure things out for yourself, but often working through “little t trauma” can be impactful and life-changing. Reprocessing maladaptive beliefs through EMDR can shift the way you move through the world and empower you to move with a sense of confidence and safety.

I am trained in Grief Recovery Method and EMDR, two evidence-based approaches that can be combined with talk therapy to create a compassionate environment for exploring your experiences.

In healing, we find connection to others and ourselves. I would be happy to explain how I can support you and help you move forward.
