Space to Honor Your Journey and Find Your Way Forward
Loss is one of the most profound experiences we face as humans, yet it can also be one of the most isolating. Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a career, or a significant life transition, Siobhan provides a compassionate anchor. At Carroll and Carroll, we understand that grief has no set timeline and no “right” way to be felt. Here, you are invited to bring your sadness, your anger, and your confusion exactly as they are.
Grief is not a linear process of “getting over it.” Instead, Siobhan works with you to integrate the loss into your life in a way that allows you to carry it with more ease.
Validating the Experience: Normalizing the complex emotions—guilt, relief, anger, or numbness—that often accompany loss.
The Dual Process of Grieving: Balancing the need to process the pain of the loss with the need to gradually re-engage with life and your future.
Creating Meaning: Exploring how to honor what was lost while finding a way to move forward with purpose.
Managing “Secondary” Losses: Addressing the changes in identity, social circles, or daily routines that follow a major loss.
Coping with Practical Stress: Developing tools to manage the physical and emotional exhaustion that grief often brings.
Grief is a response to any significant ending. Siobhan offers specialized support for various experiences, including:
Bereavement: The death of a spouse, parent, child, friend, or pet.
Relationship Loss: Navigating the “grief of the living” after a divorce or major friendship ending.
Ambiguous Loss: Coping with situations where there is no clear closure, such as a loved one with dementia or a missing person.
Life Transitions: Feeling the weight of “what used to be” after a move, retirement, or children leaving home.
“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest.”
In the aftermath of loss, the world often expects us to “move on” before we are ready. Therapy provides a dedicated time and place where your grief is respected and your pace is honored. Siobhan is here to sit with you in the darkness and, when you are ready, help you find the light again.
