Self-care is not selfish.
Therapy for Grief on Long Island, NY
You're heartbroken and sick of pretending.
you have no choice but to keep moving forward.
You wake up, put on the face, go through the motions-
but underneath it all, you’re just… empty.
Grief is crushing and you are being crushed by it.
How it sneaks up in quiet moments.
How it makes the world feel dimmer.
How it changes you in ways you can’t explain. No roadmap on how to survive.
Some days, you hold it together.
Other days, you’re falling apart in the car, in the shower, in the grocery store.
You try to push it down but the pain cracks through and bubbles up.
You miss the person you were before the loss of your loved one.
You miss them deeply and everything reminds you of them.
You miss the ease, the lightness, the sense of safety that’s now gone.
And even when people ask how you’re doing,
you still don’t know how to answer…
But you’re not okay.
Maybe you’ve thought:
• “How does this make sense? How are they gone?”
• “Everyone else seems to have moved on.”
• “I don’t even recognize myself anymore.”
You’re not broken. You’re grieving.
And you deserve a place where that grief can finally breathe.
Therapy isn’t about fixing the pain- it’s about finding a way to live alongside it,
to slowly, gently, find your way in this painful aftermath.
I’m here for you.
It’s okay to stop and grieve at your own pace- no judgement.
You don’t have to justify your feelings. You don’t have to explain your grief. You just have to show up, and together, we can work through it.
You are allowed to hold both peace and pain. You are allowed to take up space in your own story. You are allowed to need support- if it’s been months or years since your loss. You are allowed to feel everything- love, anger, numbness, confusion. You don’t have to do it in silence.
Grief changes you. It reshapes the way you move through the world. And even though people may stop asking how you’re doing, your pain still deserves care and attention.
Therapy can be a space to untangle the heaviness, to find steady ground again, and to begin living with your loss instead of around it.
You don’t have to face this alone.

Watching life move on while you’re still standing in the wreckage?
Feel like you want to desperately talk about your loved one but don’t know how, or feel like you can’t?
Exhausted of being silenced by a world that’s uncomfortable with grief?
No seems to check in anymore and you feel lonely in your grief.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy for Grief can help you talk about your loved one openly. Share memories, express your feelings, and process your grief at your own pace, knowing that every emotion you experience is valid.
Many people on Long Island navigate grief silently, feeling overwhelmed, conflicted, or unsure where to turn for support. If that’s you, you’re not alone. Losing someone you love is deeply personal, and there is no “right” way to grieve. You might feel sadness, anger, relief, guilt, or a mix of emotions that are hard to name. In a world that often rushes past loss, therapy can give you the space to slow down and feel whatever comes up, without judgment.
Grief therapy provides a safe, confidential place to process at your own pace. Whether you’re feeling numb, heartbroken, or simply not yourself, therapy can help you reconnect with your sense of self, honor your feelings, and move toward healing. You don’t have to explain or justify your loss, you just have to show up. Whether you choose in-person or virtual sessions, you’ll be met with compassion and care as you navigate this season in a way that honors both your grief and your loved one.
When all is said and done, here’s the thing:
Your loved one’s life mattered and your grief matters.
