Complicated Grief Therapy
In-person in Anchorage and online throughout Alaska and Florida.
You’re tired of feeling like you’re frozen while life moves on.
Sometimes grief can hit so hard that you lose your sense of your day-to-day life and what you need.
The pain may still feel as sharp as the day everything changed, and your body may feel caught in the moment of the loss. This could be complicated grief.
It can feel confusing, layered, and much bigger than “just loss.” Sometimes no one sees how much you are still carrying. You may learn to survive it so quietly that no one realizes part of you is still holding your breath.
You can finally exhale.
HERE’S WHAT WE WILL DO TOGETHER
Complicated Grief Therapy can help.
Complicated grief or prolonged grief can make life feel divided into before and after. Part of you may know time has moved forward, while another part still feels caught in what happened, what was lost, or what never got to be finished.
Our work is not about letting go. It is about helping you carry the loss in a way that leaves more room for connection, meaning, and life. There is no timeline to follow. We work with where you are, not where you think you should be.
The Framework & Tools
The Tools: Depth-oriented grief therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, parts work, and body-centered approaches help us work with grief that may feel stuck, overwhelming, or difficult to reach through words alone.
The Framework: Anchor. Ascend. Become.™ helps us orient the work through connection, possibility, and identity—supporting growth without rushing, minimizing, or asking you to leave the loss behind.
How Anchor. Ascend. Become.™ Guides Our Work
-
We may begin by helping you find enough steadiness to be with the grief while staying connected to yourself, and what still matters.
-
When there is more room, we can work with guilt, longing, anger, unanswered questions, or moments that still feel unfinished—and gently notice what possibilities are beginning to return.
-
Over time, we explore who you are now, what still feels meaningful, and how to keep living without feeling like you have to leave the love or loss behind.
What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where…
You feel present in life without being pulled into the loss.
You can be close to others without grief between you.
You’re reconnecting with yourself, your body, and your needs.
You can laugh and feel joy without guilt.
