General Info

Grief is a natural reaction to loss, yet it impacts each person in unique ways. There are endless experiences that cause grief and some examples include death loss, pet loss, significant life transitions, loss of financial stability, divorce, job loss, loss of security after trauma, and at times we may even experience anticipatory grief for what may lie ahead. Coping with loss and experiencing intense grief can sometimes feel isolating, endless, and incredibly painful. It can be complicated by endless factors including traumatic loss, compounded grief, or others simply not understanding our process or needs. Not even time alone will make grief disappear, but there are many things that we can do in order to help ourselves heal and grow during the process. While nearly everyone has experienced grief, I understand how lonely grief can be because people just don't get it. I have dedicated years of my career to focus on this specialty and I have even worked as a Clinical Director at a grief and loss center. I want to help you take back your power in this world. To help you realize that you are enough to accomplish whatever goals you have in your life. To help you realize that you CAN let go of what isnâ??t serving you in order to make room for the things you do want. I assess each client to better understand your needs and have multiple therapeutic techniques that will help you accomplish your goals. These skills including cognitive behavioral therapy, assertiveness training, attachment therapy, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, affirmations, reality testing, journaling, crisis intervention, mindfulness techniques, communication skills training, and providing education relating to various emotional skills that require additional development. I am also trained in EMDR and can help with those who have experienced traumatic events. With 10 years of experience, I feel confident that I can help you address issues beyond just grief and loss.
