Recovery is Possible: When everything you thought you knew to be true is turned upside down.
Do you feel like you should be over it by now?
You lost someone close to you and maybe at first your friends and family were all there for you but now it feels like they have moved on and you haven’t. You don’t want to burden your loved ones with these heavy feelings but you just can’t seem to get past feeling like the loss just happened. You may also be still having flashbacks or nightmares about what happened. These feelings are overwhelming and you feel like if you stop feeling them it would be a betrayal to the person you lost.
These emotions and thoughts are common and deeply human. Whether you’re seeking grief counseling in East Dallas or prefer the flexibility of online therapy anywhere in Texas, I’m here to help you move through grief, not “get over it,” but learn to carry it with more ease.

FAQs
-
Longer than our culture thinks it should. Some people notice the sharpest edges soften after a few months, while others feel waves of grief for years. There’s no stopwatch on grief. In counseling, we don’t work on “getting over it” — we focus on helping you carry it with more ease, whether you’re here in Dallas, East Dallas, or online anywhere in Texas.

Absolutely. Grief doesn’t expire, and you don’t “fail” if you’re still hurting after twelve months. Anniversaries, birthdays, and random Tuesday mornings can all stir it back up. Counseling can help you make space for grief and life while managing any guilt.

Grief often comes in waves — some days you cry, other days you laugh at a memory. Depression feels heavier, more constant, and can leave you feeling numb. Sometimes they overlap, and therapy can help you sort through what’s what.
