You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone
Therapy for Grief In San Antonio and Virtually Across Texas.
Grief comes in many forms, and none of them are easy. You might be mourning the death of a loved one, navigating the end of a relationship, adjusting to life after a major change, or carrying a loss that the world doesn’t always recognize; like infertility, estrangement, or the death of a beloved pet.
No matter what kind of loss you’re facing, your grief is valid. It doesn’t have to meet a certain timeline or look a certain way to matter.
Grief can feel like sadness, but it can also show up as numbness, anger, guilt, confusion, exhaustion, or even relief. It can shake your sense of identity, impact your ability to focus, and leave you feeling like the rest of the world is moving on without you.
Whether your loss was recent or happened years ago, whether it feels clear or complicated, you don’t have to carry it alone. Therapy can offer a space where your grief is honored. Not rushed, not minimized, not compared. Just witnessed, supported, and slowly, gently worked through.
make space for the pain while also making room for healing.
How Grief Therapy Works
Grief isn’t something you get over. It becomes part of your life; a reflection of the love, connection, or meaning that was lost. With support, it can become something you carry with more compassion and less pain.
In our work together, there’s no pressure to move on or find silver linings. We’ll create space for whatever you’re holding; your memories, your emotions, your questions, and the parts of you that feel stuck. You can come exactly as you are.
I use evidence-based approaches like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for painful memories, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support the parts of you most impacted by the loss, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stay connected to what still matters, and mindfulness tools to bring steadiness when things feel overwhelming.
We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and honoring of your story.
You can’t rush grief, but you don’t have to stay stuck in it either.
