Grief and Loss Therapy

Grief & Loss Therapy in Texas: Holding Space for Your Healing Journey

Grief is a deeply personal experience. Whether you're mourning the loss of a loved one, grieving a relationship, navigating a life transition, or sitting with the quiet ache of what could have been, your pain is valid. Grief is not just about death—it can emerge through divorce, identity shifts, career changes, chronic illness, or simply the passage of time.

There’s no right way to grieve. Some days it may feel like a wave crashing over you. Other times, it may look like numbness, fatigue, or a disconnection from everyday life. You might be wondering when it will get easier—or if it ever will.

As a licensed therapist offering virtual grief and loss counseling across Texas, I provide a safe, supportive space to honor your loss and explore your emotions. Whether you're in Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, or a rural area with fewer resources, you can access professional, compassionate therapy from the comfort of your home.

What Is Grief?

Grief is a natural and necessary response to loss. It can include emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual reactions. Common symptoms of grief may include:

• Sadness, anger, guilt, or regret

• Emotional numbness or shock

• Difficulty sleeping or eating

• Trouble concentrating or staying motivated

• Feelings of loneliness or isolation

• Loss of identity or purpose

• Questioning beliefs, values, or life meaning

You might feel pressure to “move on” or “stay strong”—but grief doesn’t follow a timeline. It moves in spirals, not straight lines. Whether your loss is recent or long ago, therapy can help you make space for your grief without getting stuck in it.

How I Help Clients Navigate Grief and Loss

Grief can feel isolating, but you don’t have to carry it alone. My approach to grief therapy is eclectic, humanistic, and deeply personalized, meaning we explore your unique experience and integrate tools that feel right for you.

Existential Therapy

Loss often brings up big questions about life, purpose, and mortality. In therapy, we can explore those existential questions in a safe and meaningful way—giving you space to reconnect with your values and find direction in the aftermath of loss.

Narrative Therapy

When you lose someone or something significant, your story changes. Narrative therapy helps you process the loss by exploring how your personal story has shifted, what remains, and what new meaning you might create moving forward.

Mindfulness-Based Support

Grief can make the present moment feel unbearable. Mindfulness offers gentle ways to stay grounded, observe your emotions with compassion, and reduce the overwhelm that often accompanies loss.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

If grief becomes complicated or leads to depression and anxiety, CBT can help you notice and challenge distressing thoughts, develop healthier coping tools, and begin to restore a sense of balance.

Gestalt and Somatic Awareness

Grief lives in the body—tight shoulders, a heavy chest, clenched jaws. We’ll gently tune into your body’s wisdom to release held emotion and reconnect with a sense of presence and vitality.

Trauma-Informed & Inner Child Work

Sometimes grief activates wounds from our past. I support clients in connecting with their younger self—the part that may feel abandoned, confused, or scared—and their future self, who can help guide and comfort them toward healing.

Ecotherapy-Inspired Practices

Spending time in nature can be a powerful companion to grief. I offer ideas from ecotherapy—grounding, rituals, seasonal awareness—to help you reconnect with life in gentle, organic ways that support healing.

What Grief Counseling Can Offer You

• A compassionate space to express and process your loss

• Coping tools for managing the day-to-day emotional impact

• Help navigating life changes or identity shifts tied to the loss

• Rituals and meaning-making to honor your grief

• Validation and support, free from expectations or timelines

• Reconnection to purpose, community, and hope

You don’t have to pretend you're okay. In our sessions, all of your grief is welcome—the sadness, the confusion, the love, the anger, the silence. Your emotions are not too much.
