Grief & Loss Therapy in Arlington, TX and Online Across Texas
Feel like yourself again—one gentle step at a time.
When life shatters, it’s hard to know where to begin.
Grief doesn’t just touch one area of life—it can seep into everything. Your energy. Your relationships. Your sense of identity.
Maybe you're navigating the death of someone you love. Or grieving the loss of something harder to name—like a divorce, a miscarriage, estrangement from family, or a future that no longer feels possible.
You might feel numb, disconnected, angry, or overwhelmed. You might find yourself keeping it all together on the outside, while quietly falling apart within.
There’s no “right” way to grieve. But you don’t have to go through it alone.
Loss changes everything. But it doesn’t have to define you forever.
Therapy can help you heal what loss has wounded.
Grieving is not just something you feel—it’s something you do.
In our work together, we’ll make space for the full range of your experience. Therapy can support you in moving through the tasks of mourning—at a pace that honors both your pain and your capacity for healing.
You’ll get support with:
Facing the reality of your loss, even when it still doesn’t feel real
Processing the pain—gently, and without rushing
Adjusting to life after the loss, including the practical and emotional shifts
Staying connected to who or what you’ve lost, in ways that feel grounding, not overwhelming
Making meaning from your loss so you can carry it forward, not just move on
Grief can take on different forms…
What about complicated or prolonged grief?
For some, grief doesn’t lessen with time. It lingers—or even intensifies—long after others expect you to be “okay.”
If you feel stuck in your grief, struggle with day-to-day functioning, or experience intense longing that just won’t let up, you may be facing prolonged or complicated grief.
This may feel like a personal failure but the reality is, it’s a cry for help. It’s a signal that your nervous system may need more support—and therapy can help.
We’ll work together, step by step, to gently release the parts of your grief that feel frozen or unmovable, so you can begin to live more fully again.
When grief is traumatic
Some losses don’t just break your heart—they shake your entire sense of safety and trust in the world.
You may be experiencing traumatic grief if your loss was sudden, violent, or tied to a traumatic experience—like an accident, suicide, medical crisis, or act of violence. In these cases, your body and nervous system may still be stuck in survival mode, even as you try to mourn.
You might find yourself:
Replaying the moment of loss or what you wish you had done differently
Feeling hyper-alert, emotionally numb, or easily overwhelmed
Struggling to remember your loved one without tensing up or shut down
Caught between honoring your grief and avoiding the pain
You’re not broken. And you don’t have to relive the trauma to begin healing. With approaches like EMDR, we’ll work gently and collaboratively to help your nervous system release some of the stuckness around the trauma—so you can grieve in a way that feels safer, more grounded, and more fully integrated.

That’s more common than people realize. Grieving someone who caused you pain or left things unresolved can feel confusing and layered. Therapy gives you space to explore the full truth of your relationship—without judgment.

Yes. For clients navigating traumatic or complicated grief, EMDR can be a powerful tool. It helps your nervous system release the “stuck” parts of the loss, especially if the grief is tied to shock, guilt, or trauma. We’ll talk together about whether it’s a good fit for you.
