Therapy for Grief & Compassion Fatigue in Chattanooga & Tennessee

If you’re feeling stuck in sadness or anger, it might be grief. We can experience grief about past losses (sometimes last week and sometimes 30 years ago), ongoing experiences, and future anticipated events. We can also feel grief about things we needed or wanted but didn’t or couldn’t have - the grief of an absence never filled.

Perhaps “grief” doesn’t feel exactly right, but you’re not able to show up at your job or in your caretaking role the way you used to. You feel overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, apathetic, resentful. You want to be able to do your helping and healing work the way you know you can, but it feels impossible at this point.

I have experience working with ambiguous grief, disenfranchised grief, and the grief of complex trauma. I also love working with nurses, doctors, nonprofit employees, and other helpers and healers who can experience compassion fatigue.

Due to my own experiences with grief as well as my professional training, I can hold space for despair, rage, numbness, bitterness, and all the other experiences that come along with grief. No platitudes or cliches here, just space to be messy and authentic because that’s how grief is.
