Grief & Loss Counseling

The death of someone you love changes the shape of your life. In the early days, grief can feel like shock — foggy, unreal, physically exhausting. Later, it can become quieter and more complicated: waves that come out of nowhere, guilt about what you did or didn't do, and the strange work of learning to live in a world they're no longer in.

In sessions, we make room for all of it — the sadness, the anger, the relief, the love that has nowhere to go — and gently rebuild a sense of meaning and daily rhythm at a pace that feels right for you.

When a relationship ends — through divorce, breakup, estrangement, or slow drift — you're not just losing a person. You're losing a shared future, a daily rhythm, an identity, and often a whole social world. That's grief, even when leaving was the right decision.

Together we'll make room for the complicated mix of feelings, help you find your footing, and work on what you want your next chapter to look like — without rushing past what needs to be felt first.

A chronic or serious diagnosis brings its own kind of grief. You may be grieving your health, the plans you had, the version of your future you were expecting, or the role reversals that come with caring for someone you love. This is called anticipatory grief, and it is very real — even before any 'official' loss has happened.

In therapy, we hold space for what's changing, help you find language for it with the people in your life, and build coping tools for the harder days.

Some losses don't move the way grief 'is supposed to.' A sudden or traumatic death, a suicide, an overdose, or a loss that carries stigma or unresolved conflict can leave you feeling stuck — replaying what happened, avoiding reminders, or unable to imagine life continuing.

Alexia offers trauma-informed grief work that gently addresses both the loss and the trauma symptoms wrapped around it, at a pace your nervous system can handle.
