My calling is to companion those experiencing the overwhelming grief of a loved one.
At Free 2 Grieve, we believe there is no one right way to grieve the death of a loved one. That is why we strive to offer multiple options of grief support to choose from. Some people may just need a good cup of coffee and a listening ear. At other times we may need a safe group of peers walking a similar grief journey. Then there may be times we need a bit more intense care from a train bereavement therapist. Maybe a combination of all 3.

I have nearly a decade of experience working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, grief / loss, ADHD, relationship concerns & stress.
Do you feel lost and as though you have no one to turn to? Are your fears of being judged and misunderstood preventing you from reaching out for help? Do you struggle to open up to people and feel as though you have to hide your true self out of fear of being misunderstood or misjudged? Do you feel as though you struggle with negative thoughts about yourself and others that hold you back from building relationships? Taking the first step in acknowledging that you need support along your healing journey can be difficult and scary.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
