Grief Therapy in Orem, Utah

It is a shock to your system. Your heart feels heavy but at the same time it feels hallow. You can’t breathe. Your loved one, someone that is a part of you, has been taken. The platitudes, the “I’m sorry for your loss”, “they are at a better place”, and “Time heals all wounds”, just feels so hollow, non-personal, and insincere all at the same time. How can it be okay, when you do not feel okay?  As a therapist who specializes and has experience with grief, I am not here to feed you platitudes. I get you and I am here with and for you. Clients come to me after losing their loved ones. Whether the loss is expected or unexpectedly traumatic it is still a shock, and no one ever feels ready to say goodbye. I help clients who are grieving navigate confusing and distressing emotions, hold space for grief, and move forward in a way that honors you and your loved one if that is what you want.
