Grief and Loss Counseling in Youngtown, AZ.

Grief is deeply personal—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I help individuals gently process loss, find meaning in their journey, and reconnect with life at their own pace. Whether your grief is fresh or long-standing, my goal is to offer a compassionate space where healing can begin. There may always be sadness at the loss but there can also be resolution.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

The journey through grief can feel incredibly lonely. My approach is to first create a safe, compassionate space where your story and your pain can be fully heard and honored, without judgment. The benefit to you is not just having a place to talk, but a place to feel truly seen and understood in a world that may not recognize the depth of your loss. Together, we will gently navigate the waves of sorrow, anger, and confusion. My goal is to help you find healthy ways to carry your grief, honor the love you hold, and slowly rediscover a sense of hope and meaning, allowing you to move forward without ever forgetting.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.

I help men who are dealing with grief and loss, either of a loved one or the loss of a marriage or a relationship. A lot of times it's really difficult for men to get in touch with their emotions, and in grief, it's often not an exception. Men have a hard time with grief, just like women, and have a hard time experiencing loss. For guys, loss is not something that were used to, because we're often so acclimated to winning. to be a man is to win in our society, but life often has other plans. I help men struggle through the difficult experiences of grief and loss, and come out the other side.

We work through processing grief and loss through meeting people where they are at in the grief process opposed to pushing or pulling them into a place where they are not ready to go. This means that we use a compassionate approach combined with tools and strategies to support movement through the grief process and to create closure and movement forward that honors the loss.

As a pastor and therapist for the past 25 years I have had many occasions to provide counsel and comfort to those who are grieving the loss of a loved one, or even from major life changes. Grief is so hard to walk through alone, and yet there is comfort and guidance available to help when one needs help the most. Rejection from a loved one or friends, loss of a job, church hurt, even divorce, can all bring the painful waves of grief and mourning. Grief and grieving come in many forms and bring many challenges that have to be overcome at some point. No one knows how long one's particular time of grieving will last, but the goal of counseling to bring a resolution to the grief, and peace.
