Grief and Loss Counseling in Rockwall, TX.

Grief is a natural response to a significant loss. I provide grief counseling to enable people to express the range of emotions that occur (it is normal to feel anger at the deceased) and to help you make the decisions that are best for you and your family. While well-meaning friends offer condolences, society tends to assume that people "get over it" much faster than what is normal. There is no set amount of tears or time that leads to acceptance.

The hole you are feeling inside you is understandable and expected. It is hard to keep going, and you've talked with your family and friends so much it's hard to feel like that isn't all you talk about. Let me guide you through this time. I will listen and help you come to terms with this loss. There is no reason to continue to isolate and feel alone.

Navigating grief and loss can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to go through it alone.

Through our holistic approach, we help you honor your loss while finding resilience and meaning amidst the pain. You're not alone in your grief, and together, we'll walk this path towards healing.

Grief is hard. Grief is natural. Animals grieve. Grief is something we feel deep in our bodies and can be disorienting and destabilizing. Grief brings up questions about who we are, the world, the existence or goodness of God, and purpose and futility of life. Dealing with grief, especially when the loss is traumatic and unexpected, requires a slow and tender space to allow the grief to move through our body and to settle in our hearts with warmth and memory. I am here to help you grieve the loss of your loved one, experience, health , future or even your beloved pet. .

As an experienced Christian Counselor and ordained pastor, I’ve supported many men through the grief process. If you’re grieving, I will provide a supportive space for you to process your emotions. Because grief is a normal part of being human, I can’t take it away or rush you through it. However, I can help you identify barriers to grief, and help you prevent the grief process from becoming stuck. I know grief professionally. But I also know grief personally. Losing one of my best friends and my beloved grandparents was hard enough, but facing the untimely death of my father was, and is, a uniquely painful experience. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you process your grief.

I will hold space, provide resources, and support clients through this difficult process. I believe there is no time limit on how long it takes someone to move through the grief and loss process. I will support and meet my clients where they are and help guide them towards healing in the process. Encouragement to re-engage with life will provided but not in a forceful and or dismissive manner.
