When we lose important people in our lives we are left with indelible scars that remind us of the void we feel in their absence.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach grief and loss with a compassionate and faith-based perspective, recognizing the profound impact of sorrow on individuals. Integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles, I create a safe space for clients to express their emotions and navigate the complexities of grief. Drawing upon biblical teachings on comfort, hope, and the promise of eternal life, I incorporate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on faith into the therapeutic process. I support individuals in finding meaning in their loss, fostering a deeper connection with God, and navigating the journey of healing. Encouraging reliance on the strength and comfort provided by their faith, I assist clients in integrating their grief into their spiritual journey, ultimately helping them emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and hope grounded in their Christian beliefs.

Loss or Grief
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in loss and grief, my treatment approach is grounded in empathy, validation, and support. Through compassionate listening and validation of emotions, I create a safe space for individuals to express their feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion associated with their loss. Utilizing techniques from grief therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I help clients navigate the grieving process, identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop coping strategies to manage their emotions. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the stages of grief and normalize the range of emotions experienced during mourning. Collaboration with clients may also involve exploring rituals or activities that honor the memory of the deceased and facilitate healing. My goal is to accompany individuals on their journey through grief, fostering resilience, meaning-making, and eventual adaptation to life without their loved one.
