Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Are your life and relationships unfulfilling? Can't let go of past hurts? Using sex or the internet to avoid others or painful emotions? Nothing gets better no matter what you try? Maybe it's time for a change!
Without love, there would be no grief. Grief brings so many different emotions, causing feelings of being overwhelmed, despair, loneliness and hopelessness. Together we will find meaning in your loss and how you can cope with the pain without carrying the suffering.
I have worked with individuals with serious and life-limiting illnesses who may be experiencing anticipatory grief in the context of their prognosis. Also, through working with older adults, I frequently support them in coping with grief that is a result of loss of loved ones and/or changes to their health and functioning. My goal is to support you through the grief process and to learn helpful coping strategies for grief.
Unfortunately, we live in an age of excess uncertainty due to violence, natural disaster, disease, war and various health issues. Loss of loved ones or others close to us can lead to uncomplicated or complicated grief. I help clients accept and process the emotions and life changes caused by unexpected or anticipated loss.
