You Don't Have to Grieve Alone
Grief is not just about death. It's the profound response to any significant loss that changes the landscape of your life. As women, we often carry our grief silently, continuing to care for others while our own hearts are breaking. You may feel pressure to "move on" or "be strong" when what you really need is permission to feel, space to heal, and someone who truly understands.
The many faces of grief
At EmpowerHer Wellness Center, we understand that grief comes in many forms. It's not solely tied to the death of a loved one; it can stem from the loss of a relationship, identity, lifestyle, or even unrealized dreams. Whatever your grief, know that it is valid and deserving of compassionate support.
Grief of a family member
The death of a parent, sibling, grandparent, or other family member can shake your foundation. We help you navigate complicated emotions and family dynamics while honoring their memory.
Grief of a child
There are no words adequate for the loss of a child. We offer a sacred space to honor this profound grief and support your nervous system through this devastating loss.
Grief of a relationship
Divorce, breakup, or estrangement can bring grief that others minimize. We help you process complex emotions and reclaim your sense of self.
Grief of a former identity
Sometimes we grieve who we used to be. We'll honor who you were while helping you discover and integrate who you're becoming, recognizing that growth and grief can coexist.
Grief of a former lifestyle
Changes in health, finances, or life circumstances can alter the life you knew. We'll create space to mourn what's changed while building new meaning and discovering what's still possible.
My approach to grief counseling
Grief is not a problem to be solved or a process to be rushed through. It's a natural response to loss that requires compassionate witness and skilled support. At EmpowerHer Wellness Center, my approach is trauma-informed, neurobiologically attuned, holistically integrated, individually paced, culturally and spiritually respectful, and focused on continuing bonds.
