Grief is one of the most difficult experiences that we as human beings face. It occurs in many forms, at different times, and for various lengths of time. Anticipatory grief builds as face something that we know is on the horizon. Acute grief is our response when the event actually occurs. Delayed grief confronts us when we have gone for some while before allowing the loss to actually seep into our awareness and begin to deal with it. Each of these types of grief has its own set of needs and ways of dealing with it. Regardless of the type, we all need someone to walk with us through the pain. As a counselor, I am a person with whom you can share your journey.

Grief and Loss is more often than not a complicated loss, because of the meaning attached to loss. For instance, grieving the death of loved one or spouse (through death or divorce) is also dealing with creating a new identity. While grieving issues with infertility confronts unmet expectations and dreams. In our busy lives we often are not allowed time to process grief fully, in our hour together helping you name the meaning of the your loss.

In being alive, we naturally encounter events that cause us to grieve over that loss. We have natural emotional responses that allow us to "pass through" those events. By having you tell the story of the loss, your emotions will be "innervated" so that you will have an emotional release or catharsis. This is the heart of healing talk therapy which allows you to use your natural healing mechanisms.
