When grieving we can experience a wide range of emotions. "Giving language" to these emotions - through speaking or writing - helps us make sense of our feelings and brings relief from the heaviness of grief. You will receive non-judgmental support and direction as you mourn your loss or losses. It is possible to find a new way to be - not to leave behind what you had, but to bring the best of your past into your future. A joyful life and a meaningful life can still be yours. Grief affects us physically as well as emotionally and spiritually. Grief counseling can help restore your body, mind and spirit. You can sleep better, feel less anxiety and fear and have more hope for your future

Experiencing loss can bring up so many emotions. Our society does not always make the necessary room for grief that is often needed, causing us to feel we should quickly 'move past it'. Whether it is the death of a loved one, the end of a job/career, a dear pet, a relationship or divorce, having a safe place for support during your time of grief is important. I will guide you through understanding your grief so you can move towards healing your heart and return to balance in a new way.

Life is full of change. Any change consists of gains as well as losses. This means for us as human beings that we are most often in a state of grief and loss, even if that comes with some celebration. If one has never processed their grief (even small losses are important), one can get STUCK in the earlier least healthy stages of grief and never have a chance to "get through the darkness and into His light." I work to benefit my clients to process through these stuck places. Please feel free to read more about me at www.foundationcounseling.com.

When you become stuck in deep sadness, regret, and an inability to move on or when there was a trauma associated with the death, I can help you resolve the grief and find peace. I use gentle compassionate strategies to support your acceptance and return to a more satisfying life. You will learn to let go, to resolve regrets, and to enjoy life again.

With a sincere and empathic approach, I support clients coping with grief and loss. Through psychoeducation I help clients realize the tansitions of the five stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, but these are not experienced in a linear fashion, and some people skip certain stages altogether. Clients find my style and approach to be genuine and compassionate.

Everyone experiences grief and loss differently. Clients jump around from being in denial, to sadness, to anger, to depression. My ultimate goal is to assist my client to get to a place of acceptance around the loss. The loss can be anything from a loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of a friend, or even a loss of a certain time of their lives. No matter what the loss is, I believe it is important to go through the grieving process. When these feelings are shoved under the rug and not dealt with, it eventually will come out and is often directed at people they love the most or leads to unhealthy behaviors and addictions.

We generally think of grief and loss in relation to the death of people we have been close with, such as family, friends, coworkers and others with whom we have been close. While death is certainly the worst kind of loss we are called upon to face and grieve over, there are other meaningful losses we must endure and find a way to grieve toward resolution and inner peace. Such losses as the breakup of significant relationships, through divorce or separation from any loved one certainly call for grieving. Loss of one’s job can amount to a meaningful loss that requires grieving to go on with a new and constructive adjustment. The loss of one’s health can also present serious challenges to keepin....

I have worked with grief and loss extensively. I have both professional experience and personal experience with grief and loss. My own journey has helped me better understand the issues involved in coping with loss. When we lose someone close, we are forever changed and we have to cope with and develop a changed sense of who we are. This can be challenging and, eventually, rewarding. I can help you understand the feelings and the grief process and help you make healthy choices as you rebuild your life and move forward.

The loss of someone we love leaves us feeling intense emotional pain. We often feel lost in our sorrow, misunderstood and disconnected from others. The experience of grief is a natural expression of the pain we experience after the loss of a loved one. Having a compassionate person to explore your thoughts and feelings with can be the healing element that is needed to move on in life. In your own time at your own pace. There is no shame in needing someone who can share your loss with you and assist with finding a way to move forward and embrace life again. Everyone experiences grief in their own way and will heal in their own time. There is hope and life after loss.

There are multiple forms of loss, ranging from lost friendship to to the loss of a loved one, which could be a pet or a person. I would encourage open communication about feelings and strongly believe that an individual's feelings should not be judged or criticized. I would also encourage the individual to allow sufficient time to recover from their loss; there is no "right" amount of time to process a loss.

Therapy for the treatment of grief is simply about listening. No matter what the circumstances are, losing a loved one is never easy. But when the emotions begin to hinder our ability to function, it is very helpful to come to a safe environment and talk about the loss. So often I find that when someone is affected by a loss it can be made worse by setting too high a standard for themselves. We feel we should be able to let go of the pain and move on but that only causes more stress and sadness and doesn't allow for real acceptance and growth. Together we can process the loss, make some sense of it, and begin to rebuild and find new healthy routines.

Personal loss is a painful process and requires time to heal. Having a healthy means to work through grief is important. In my counseling experience I have had the opportunity to walk many individuals through the grief process. Because of my background in Christian ministry I find that I can also help people sort through the questions they have about faith and loss. One of the common questions I hear is, "How can a loving God allow this to happen?" If you are struggling with loss and have more questions than answers you need to find a safe place to process your feelings, find comfort and hope. I would like to walk this journey with you.
