Online Grief Therapy in North Carolina, South Carolina, & Ohio
Therapy for Complex & Traumatic Loss
Grief can change every part of your life. While grief is a natural response to losing someone important, the grieving process can become complicated when the loss is sudden, traumatic, unexpected, or deeply life-altering. Whether you've lost a spouse, partner, parent, child, sibling, friend, or beloved pet, the emotional impact of loss can feel overwhelming and isolating. If you're struggling to cope with the pain of grief, therapy offers a supportive space to process your emotions, understand the nuances of your experience, and move towards healing while honoring your loved one.
I provide specialized online grief counseling for adults living in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio who are experiencing bereavement, complex grief, prolonged grief, and traumatic loss. I will support you in navigating the emotional, psychological, physical, and relational effects of loss. Grief is not something to "get over”—healing often involves learning how to carry loss while also continuing to engage in life in meaningful ways. Our work together will honor your individual needs, values, culture, and relationship with the one you lost.
You deserve to have your grief witnessed, heard, and understood—you are not alone.
How Grief Therapy Can Help:
There is no "right way" to grieve, and there is no timeline you’re expected to follow.
Together, we’ll work to:
Process painful emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt, regret, betrayal, shame, or numbness
Cope with major life changes after a loss
Navigate anniversaries, holidays, and other grief triggers
Reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness
Understand the impact of trauma on the grieving process
Develop healthy coping strategies
Strengthen emotional resilience
Reconnect with meaning, purpose, and hope
Therapy is tailored to your current grief experience, history with loss, and complex associations with bereavement.
An Understanding Approach:
When a loss occurs suddenly, violently, unexpectedly, or under particularly distressing circumstances, grief often becomes intertwined with trauma. You may find yourself replaying events, struggling with intrusive thoughts, feeling emotionally stuck, or questioning your sense of safety and belonging in the world.
I am deeply passionate about helping people navigate these difficult and often misunderstood grief experiences. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by emotions they did not expect, frustrated that they are not "moving on," or worried that something is wrong with them because their grief feels so intense. Contrary to popular belief, grief cannot be neatly organized into clearly-defined stages that follow a certain order and don’t repeat. You aren’t “grieving wrong” if your experience doesn’t align with the five stages of grief or make perfect sense to others around you. The grief is yours, and deserves a therapy approach uniquely tailored to your needs and experiences.
Together, we’ll process both the loss itself and the trauma surrounding it. My approach recognizes that healing from complex grief requires compassion, patience, and specialized care. Above all, I believe you deserve support that respects the depth of your grief and the significance of your loss. I also provide integrated Brainspotting therapy for a brain-based and somatic approach to deeper processing if desired.
