Grief and Loss Counseling in Fort Meade, FL.

Children ages 3-11 suffer from loss due to a death, divorce, and relocating. I use client-centered play therapy in a safe environment, enabling the child to express his/her emotions and thoughts through play. Play Therapy uses play, a child's natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings more easily through toys instead of words.

We help our client to heal and process grief and loss through holding safe space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Everyone grieves differently, but it can be very beneficial to receive support from loved ones and therapists as you cope with grief and loss. Collaborative therapy, Emotionally-Focused therapy, grief psychoeducation, and techniques such as EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) can be especially helpful.

I realize it can be tough to remain optimistic when facing challenging times. But I'm here to help you move through the grieving process at your own pace without pushing you too hard. I don't want you to simply "get over it." Instead, I want to help you move forward with your life. With my experience, I can provide a listening ear and a safe space where you can feel supported, understood, and respected. Together, we can work through this difficult time.

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.

We all experience grief and loss. Whether it is the loss of a career, a loved one, or sense of self you do not have to do it alone. I understand what you are going through because I specialize in grief and complicated grief. I know how grief can make your world stop, how it forces you to contemplate your own existence, and the growth it can bring if you allow it. You may be in the depths of sorrow or you may be unable to feel sad. Neither way is "wrong." While it is a personalized journey it also has unstructured stages that research has show we must all face in the process. With me you will have a tender space to heal and grow.
