Grief is never a cookie cutter experience and the emotions you feel may change like the wind. As painful as it may be, talking out those feelings with someone who is compassionate and kind can help lighten the burden you carry. Although I can't take this pain away or carry it for you, I can help you walk along this journey and give you a comforting shoulder to lean on.
Which stage of grief are you experiencing? Denial? Anger? Depression? Isolation? Or are you on a roller coaster ride going back and forth between them?
Grief can wreak havoc on your emotional well-being and cause overwhelming emotions too difficult to handle.
I can teach you coping skills and help you learn how to not only accept but thrive in your new way of life.
Addressing in a structured way the cause and root of the grief, processing the complex layers involved in grieving and facing a loss, and allowing for acceptance and finding serenity.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMFT, CCBT, CCHT
Grief is a normal and natural reaction to a major loss.
Some events in life are so overwhelming that it is almost impossible to see beyond them.
Being able to grasp even a little hope in a tragic event can help you hold on to that bottom rung of the ladder called survival.
Hold on -- until you are able to get your bearings and start again and see life as possibly worth living.
Then slowly begin to move forward knowing that your life will be different and you can still make it meaningful.

Loss can feel as though you've lost your way, and grief looks different for everyone. In therapy I seek to support you through your journey with loss and grief, find renewed meaning, and develop skills to move forward with more peace.
Loss can come in many forms and grief looks different for every person. Through therapy we will co-create a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the facets of your grief and develop tools to move forward feeling more at peace.
Loss and grief are not linear. Connect with a Heading therapist that specializes in supporting those who are grieving in both navigating the magnitude of their loss, and developing strategies to experience joy and meaning as they walk forward in life.
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.
We are all experience loss in our life, maybe a death of someone close to us or major life changes and transitions that cause pain and disappointment. I want to help you resolve and adjust to where you are in life and look forward to what's ahead. Grief must be processed and not ignored or it leads to other problems.
