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 dont include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

Grief can impact emotions, relationships, sleep, concentration, and a person’s sense of meaning. Counseling offers a supportive space to process loss at one’s own pace, without pressure to “move on.” Clients often experience relief from overwhelming emotions, greater clarity and self-understanding, and practical tools for coping day to day. Over time, many feel less alone, more grounded, and better able to re-engage with life and relationships while honoring what has been lost.

The process of grieving is complex. There are several types of grief other than the death of a loved one. There is no "right or wrong" way to move through this painful process. There is no time frame for healing so our time together will be based on your personal experience and process of healing. My goal is to meet you where you are and facilitate healing in a safe & trusting environment.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist / Certified EMDR Therapist / Experienced Christian Counselor

Available for Online Therapy

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.

Grief is a powerful and unique process. There are numerous examples of how grief and loss can show up in your life, but often grief is in response to a deep and profound loss that you have experienced. This can show up as losing your loved one; your spouse, your close friend, your colleague, your beloved pet, or it can be the loss of your job, your marriage, your relationship, your home, or some other aspect of your identity. Love, patience, and compassion are vital to your grief process. Being able to navigate your grief process on your own can be overwhelming and that is when it is helpful to have someone to work with to support you and help you heal by being a witness to your process.

Grief is not linear. After loss, the sadness comes unexpectedly. It waxes and wanes on its own. The only way to be with it is to let it move through you. If you try to bottle it up, it will come out later. It can also build in your system lead to other emotional difficulties. Grief is a natural process and it's important to let it happen. I'm here to support you in being with the grief in a compassionate, kind way.
