Grief and Loss Counseling in Conway, FL.

Grief shows up through several life experiences: the loss of a loved one, divorce, major life transitions, or realizing that something or someone in your life does not match "the dream" you had in your mind. In counseling I invite you to understand the stages of grief and work your way through each one. My role is to hold space for you to face your disbelief, express your anger, cry seemingly endless tears, bargain for a new outcome, and find the courage to delve into your sadness. Taking one step at a time, you eventually reach a place of peace and acceptance. Through this incredible experience of growth and expansion, I will support you in discovering the depth of your own strength.

Therapy for grief and loss provides a compassionate space to process your emotions, honor your experience, and find a path forward at your own pace. Whether you're coping with the death of a loved one, a major life change, or another significant loss, our practice offers support without judgment. You'll gain tools to navigate the pain, make meaning from your experience, and gradually reconnect with life. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting instead learning to carry your loss with care.

Losing a loved one or a relationship can be one of the most challenging events you will experience. I can help you turn this traumatic moment into an opportunity for breakthrough. This process includes redefining your relationship with a loved one, or re-discovering a piece of yourself that has been lost. I encourage you to embrace the reality that you can thrive even in the wake of grief or loss. The next season may bring renewal.

Whether the loss of a person or a relationship, a job, career or a dream, grieving is an important component of healing. When we get stuck in grieving and aren't moving forward, having someone to come alongside us can be just what is needed. Grief that is not resolved can lead to physical and emotional problems that last a long time. There is help. You don't have to grieve alone!

Loss is an extremely hard thing and finding a new reality without your old way of life can be even harder. Loss can be many things - a loved one, a friend, a pet, a job or a transition of something in your life you once had. It's a big deal. We often experience a range of emotions as a result - depression, anger, bargaining, pain, sadness - they are all so normal and yet overwhelming. At KML, we are here to be your support and help you get through this difficult time. Sometimes, it is just having a place to go where you can let the emotions out, other times it might be wanting to talk through the pain of the loss - everyone is different. We are here to walk through the pain with you.

With my experience in ministry, in counseling, and in life-coaching, I’ve helped men work through the complicated emotions around grief and loss. As men we feel pressure to be a “rock” for everyone else. Then our wives tell us to open up and feel our feelings. But do they really want to see us fall apart? Like many things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Chances are that you’ve bravely put your feelings on hold to care for others, and regardless of what the world says, there’s love and nobility in that. And at the same time, you need a place to be real and work through the pain. If you’re ready to take the next step and face what needs to be faced, man to man, I’m here to help.

I have worked with many clients who are dealing with grief and loss issues, including children and families who have lost a loved one. I have also worked with trauma survivors and their families and loved ones, including victims and others impacted by or involved in the Pulse nightclub shootings. I encourage people to understand that there is no "wrong" way to grieve and that it is a process that takes time.

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.

Grief & loss can knock even the strongest person on their knees. Those who are close to us try to comfort us with good intentions, but most of what they do and say do not help. They may actually make things worse with statements like, "you need to be strong" or "they are in a better place." We all have unique ways in which we grieve, and I am trained to help you grieve in practical ways that work best for you.

My goal is to assist my clients with giving themselves "permission" to grieve. I often find that people struggle with this emotion, particularly when they are grieving the loss of a relationship, and not a death. While I caution clients that grieving doesn't have an expiration date, we can get "stuck" in the past and not know how to move past the pain of yesterday. I aim to teach clients healthy and productive ways to express and process their emotions, such as anger, sadness and fear, and find effective ways to help them let go so they can begin to create a new life on their terms.

At the heart of our grief and loss therapy is offering our clients much-needed professional and pastoral care. Emphasis is placed of careful assessment and understanding of the crisis. Next, clients will be given the necessary support required to alleviate the crisis by both teaching and providing coping skills. As an ordained pastor and and Certified Clinical Christian Therapist, clients can, as it were, get the best of both worlds. In the next phase of counseling clients learn how to build their resilience by offering them empathy, love and compassion. The final phase of our therapeutic approach focuses on self-care through the realignment of one's identity as well as the creation of hope.
