In our western society, many well-meaning people simply do not know how to support someone who is grieving. From loosing a job, to divorce, death or catastrophe, there is no right way to grieve, but there are certainly better and more helpful ways of approaching your grief. The goals is never to get over it, because no one ever really does. Whatever your experience, I believe you can get through it and grow through it - and you don't have to do it alone!

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.
