What Mac/model/year?
What macOS are you running?
What Safari version?
Is this a new problem, on going problem?
Any recent updates / upgrades?
Did you try holding the shift key and launch Safari? Holding the SHIFT key while launching Safari will prevent previous sessions windows from loading, if there was a previous issue.
To trouble shoot further you can:
Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it loads up, and certain system caches, dynamic loader cache, etc. get cleared and rebuilt.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
