Experiences of grief for someone important but not central to one's life can move towards healing as feelings are freely expressed and the importance of the relationship is explored. More acute grief for the loss of someone central to one's life involves a more extended process of expressing the many different emotions that emerge, sometimes using art supplies to express feelings not ready for words. Reflection on the meaning this person had in your life and the the many losses involved can eventually lead to thoughts about how one can go on, using the wisdom gleaned from the grief process. A major grief never goes away entirely but the precious memories are sustaining.

Grief and loss visits all of us, and it can take many forms, be it death, divorce, a health crisis, or a myriad of other life events. Initially people may have rallied around you, but slowly life goes on, and friends and family return to their lives. You may feel compelled to move on as well, perhaps sharing your pain less, and hiding your sorrow, thus grief and loss are often dealt with in isolation, leaving you with a multitude of unshared feelings. The fabric of your life has been torn, and peicing it back together is a process, not an event. I help my clients navigate this process, and accompany them on their journey.

Often, we associate the word "grief" with someone passing away, but any form of loss can result in grieving. This includes loss of relationships, health, financial stability, dreams, pets, safety, and more. There is no one right way to grieve, and no specific timeline for doing so. It may be hard to believe the loss has really happened. You may feel empty, relieved, angry, guilty, or sick. Or you may feel nothing at all. Ignoring your grief, though, won't make it go away. You will have highs and lows. Care for yourself. Acknowledge your feelings. Allow people to support you. With time, the lows will be shorter and less intense, the highs will be longer and brighter, and you will find peace.

Grief and loss are often mismanaged by therapists who do not understand the difference depression and grief. If you are dealing with a loss that doesn't seem to be diminishing, or is interfering with your functioning for a period of time that does not seem reasonable to you, now may be the time to seek a consultation. The pain of the loss does not have to last forever.

Loss can occur at any time in our lives, whether it be the loss of a career, a home, a relationship or perhaps a death of a loved one. It is normal to have many feelings during this time, and to questions ourselves about things we wished we had said or done. "What if..." If we try to cope with severe feelings by ourselves there is the chance of developing a more severe problem such as depression, or in the event of a trauma, post-traumatic disorder. Talking to a professional will help you resolve some of these feelings, sort out what is realistic to expect of ourselves, allow ourselves to develop a support system and integrate the loss into our lives.

Grieving is a very personal experience and we all experience it differently and for different amounts of time. It helps to have someone you can share your experience of confusion, numbness, loss, relief or pain with who won't judge you, or tell you to "just get over it." I work with people who are grieving the loss of a spouse or family member to death, Alzheimer's, chronic pain or addiction. The loss of a child who goes off to college, the service, or moves out of the area is a grievous loss that almost no one understand who hasn't experienced it. I listen and we reflect on the times you have lost people and places that were precious to you, and you move towards acceptance, life and hope.

Grief, if left blocked, can be a significant drain on our energy. It is possible (and common) to move at such a fast pace through life that we are completely unaware of unprocessed feelings. When sadness, loss, and regret are identified, expressed, and released we reclaim our vitality and improve self-esteem. Another benefit of this process is improvement in our relationships. I provide a safe, comfortable environment to explore these issues.

Your life changes forever when you lose someone, whether you were close or had a strained relationship. Knowing how to make this transition when your emotions are all jumbled and you at times feel like you might go crazy can be very scary and lonely. Healing from a loss doesn't happen in isolation, nor is it a sole event. That is why seeking help is not only comforting, but it bring reassurance you are on the right path, what to expect and how best to weather the storm so you can go on with life and once again find happiness and meaning. I've not only walked this journey personally, but I have walked alongside many others and together we've made the journey successfully.

Grief and loss issues can stem from recent losses, or ones from decades past. They can feel overwhelming to deal with because of the intensity of emotion. However, having a safe environment to work through these issues at a pace that you are comfortable with is the best way to begin that journey. With grief, as with so many other things in life, the only way around the feelings are through them. I have experience working with individual and leading grief groups. I understand how grief manifests differently for different people, and will help you on your journey of healing. Please call me to discuss further and to determine if you'd like to schedule an appointment.

Feeling stuck in grief? Worried you're burdening your friends and family with your continued sadness? Are you stuck with regret or guilt that just won't lessen? While grief is a normal process that is naturally painful to go through, some people find that their grief doesn't lessen over time, and that they have a hard time moving on in their life. I'd like to help. One of the tools I use is EMDR, which can help to resolve old wounds that make it difficult to heal after the loss of a loved one. To help yourself heal from grief, please call or email for a free phone consultation.

Losing a loved one or being separated by life circumstances leads one to experience feelings of grief. I create a safe and supportive environment where people are allowed to feel and express their grief in healthy ways. Not expressing this grief often creates an obstacle for individuals. This often leads individuals to appear anxious, angry and/or depressed. At this time people are often at great risk of developing unhealthy coping skills.

Loss is a necessary condition of life. Loss comes in all forms, from death, job loss, divorce, changing homes, aging as it affects our physicality, health and perception of who we are. Each individual's experience of loss and how they cope with it differs. And because loss is inevitable it is something that needs to be addressed, processed, and moved through. Grieving, too, comes in all forms and most of us have never learned to grieve appropriately. My job with you is to help facilitate that process so that you can come through feeling more whole and at peace with the loss you have experienced.

There are many ways we grieve - the loss of a spouse, parent or child; the loss of an beloved pet; the loss of a job; the loss of a marriage. Grieving is a natural process we all go through, but sometimes we want someone to talk to, someone who understands and someone to guide us in a respectful way towards healing. As we age, we experience even more losses. Many times after the initial loss, our friends don't seem to want to talk about it anymore. That is when a therapist can help. Please call for a complimentary interview.
