Grief Therapy

"Grief is praise, because it is the natural way love honors what it misses." - Martín Prechtel

Derrick developed a deep and intimate relationship with grief following the death of his mother in 2016. He has designed his approach to Grief Therapy to help individuals navigate the complex emotional experience that arises after the loss of a loved one. This includes better understanding of the cyclical nature of the stages of grief and unpacking the past hurts and/or exploring the complex nature of the relationship with the loved one that can remerge after their death- which often complicates mourning.

Derrick provides a supportive and empathetic space where individuals can express and validate the normal human experience of sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion and the behaviors that emerge as a way to cope with the grief. Derrick’s intent is to facilitate healing, increase capacity, and help individuals find a renewed sense of purpose and meaning in their lives after loss.
