Loss, Longing, and Letting Go
Therapy for adults in Oklahoma navigating grief, loss, and all the things that didn’t go as planned
Grief Has Many Forms
Some grief is obvious. Other grief lives quietly inside us for years — unspoken, but still heavy.
You might be carrying more than you realize.
Grief after the death of someone close can feel like the world has shifted beneath your feet. Whether the loss was sudden or expected, it can leave you feeling untethered, hollow, or like time has split into before and after. Even ordinary days can become painful reminders of what's missing.
But grief isn’t always about death.
Sometimes it’s about the childhood you never had. The parent you no longer have a relationship with. The dream that quietly slipped away. Or the person you lost that no one else even knew mattered to you.
You May Be Grieving…
The death of a partner, parent, sibling, child, or close friend
A caregiver you’ve had to cut ties with — even though part of you still longs to be close
A childhood shaped by dysfunction, emotional neglect, or always being the “strong one”
The family you wished for, but never really had
A relationship, identity, or life path that unraveled or was never safe to begin with
Years spent surviving instead of living
All grief is real. It deserves space.
And that’s what this work is here to offer.
It’s Not Just Sadness —
It’s Disorientation, Exhaustion, and Longing
Grief shows up in ways most people don’t expect.
You might feel numb one day and overwhelmed the next. Maybe you’re struggling to function — or maybe you look “fine” while feeling completely lost inside.
Grief can sound like:
“Why does this still hurt so much?”
“I don’t know who I am without them.”
“I feel like I should be over this by now.”
“Everyone else moved on, but I’m stuck.”
“I don’t know how to let go, but I can’t keep holding on either.”
Whether your loss is tangible or invisible, it deserves to be acknowledged.
You’re Not Broken. You’re Grieving.
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. It doesn’t care how long ago the loss happened.
And it doesn’t always come with closure.
Sometimes grief is loud. Sometimes it’s quiet.
Whether you’ve lost a person, a relationship, or a sense of who you were supposed to be — it matters.
This isn’t about “moving on.”
It’s about giving shape to something that’s lived inside you for too long — and learning how to carry it with care.
What Healing Looks Like Here
You don’t have to explain it perfectly.
You don’t have to make sense of it yet.
You just need a space where your grief is allowed to exist — exactly as it is.
My approach blends integrative, trauma-informed care with deep emotional presence:
EMDR therapy to process the pain that still lives in your nervous system
Parts work (IFS) to explore the internal tension between what wants to heal and what’s not ready
Somatic tools to help your body settle and restore a sense of safety
Insight-based therapy to understand how grief has shaped your life and identity
Experiential techniques (like empty chair work) to give voice to unspoken pain
This isn’t about getting over it.
It’s about honoring what you’ve lost — and reconnecting with what’s still here.
When Weekly Therapy Isn’t Enough for Grief
Some grief is too big for fifty-minute sessions. It doesn’t fit neatly into a once-a-week box — especially when you’ve been carrying it quietly for years.
Breakthrough Therapy Intensives offer a deeper, more supported way to move through grief that’s stuck, layered, or long-held. These custom, private-pay programs are tailored to your needs and give you space to truly feel, process, and begin healing.
This might be right for you if you’re:
Frozen or disconnected months (or years) after a loss
Navigating complex grief — death, identity loss, estrangement, or medical trauma
Longing for space to name and process grief you’ve never spoken aloud
In a life transition while still carrying unprocessed sorrow
You don’t have to keep bracing or pretending.
These intensives offer a focused space to honor what’s been lost — and start finding your way forward.
Common Questions About Grief Therapy
Is it too late to start grief therapy?
Not at all. Whether the loss was recent or long ago, therapy can help you work through what still feels raw, unfinished, or invisible.
What if my grief isn’t about death?
That’s okay. We grieve many things — people, childhoods, relationships, possibilities. If it hurts, it matters. And it belongs here.
What if I don’t know how to talk about it?
You don’t need the right words. We’ll start where you are and move at a pace that feels safe.
How long will this take?
There’s no set timeline. Some clients come for a season; others stay longer to process deeper wounds. We’ll figure it out together.
“But I Can’t Change What I’ve Lost.”
That’s true.
We can’t undo the absence, the silence, or the ending that came too soon — or never came at all.
But that doesn’t mean you have to stay stuck in it.
Grief that’s never spoken often becomes shame.
Pain that isn’t witnessed can become too heavy to carry alone.
Therapy gives your grief a place to go.
A place to be seen.
A place to breathe.
You can’t change what you’ve lost —
But you can change how it lives in you now.
You can make space for joy, for meaning, for peace — even as you continue to honor what was.
This isn’t about forgetting.
It’s about learning how to carry your grief in a way that doesn’t carry you away.
You Don’t Have to Grieve Alone
Whether you're mourning someone you’ve lost, grieving the life you thought you’d have, or navigating a lifetime of unmet emotional needs — this pain doesn’t have to stay hidden.
Your grief matters.
Your loss matters.
And you're allowed to bring all of it into the room.
