Grief and Loss Counseling in World Golf Village, FL.

Every day we catalogue any number of unique losses; being overlooked for a job promotion, relational cutoff with a family member, infidelity of spouse, separation or divorce, death of a loved one. These experiences can launch us into the grief cycle. It can be incredibly helpful to spend some processing any of these with someone. Grief can feel like a spin cycle of emotions of anger, fear, sadness and even an experience of feeling numb. Every person grieves in their own way. Our time together would be dedicated to (1) appropriately value and honor what was lost, (2) validate those feelings and (3) explore what it looks like to move forward.

I am sincerely sorry you are suffering. When you lose someone, or something, important, it can be so very painful. I have a very high level of training in helping people with these sorts of pains. You may have lost a person, a relationship, or perhaps a pet? I understand how bad such losses can be. It can feel like no one will ever understand. But you will receive my full attention, support, and high level of both academic and clinical training as we work together to attempt to sensitively, properly process your loss and slowly increase your quality of life. I know you might be feeling at your worst, or even worse than your worst. I hope to have the priveledge of supporting you.

Grief is hard. Grief is natural. Animals grieve. Grief is something we feel deep in our bodies and can be disorienting and destabilizing. Grief brings up questions about who we are, the world, the existence or goodness of God, and purpose and futility of life. Dealing with grief, especially when the loss is traumatic and unexpected, requires a slow and tender space to allow the grief to move through our body and to settle in our hearts with warmth and memory. I am here to help you grieve the loss of your loved one, experience, health , future or even your beloved pet. .

Grief and loss are the intensely personal emotions that occur after losing a loved one. Grief can also occur after the loss of a pregnancy, a divorce, a terminal diagnosis, the loss of a beloved pet, and changes in your health or the health of a loved one. Even the simplest tasks can trigger feelings of grief after experiencing a loss making everyday life feel impossible. Through empathy and the safe environment you'll receive in therapy, you can feel supported as you move through all of the emotions that grief brings with it. You can move towards acceptance and discover what your life looks like after loss.

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.

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.

After a personal loss, nothing looks the same. Food loses its flavor, music seems hallow, and nothing satisfies. One person going through grief wrote: "How could things go on when the world had come to an end? How could I go on in this void?" Grief is a universal problem and if not worked through properly can result in crippling, negative consequences in our lives such as depression. There is hope and healing available through Grace-oriented, Biblical counseling.

I emphasize the need to increase the reality of loss, to help the client deal with and overcome various barriers to changes created by the loss, and help the client feel comfortable engaging in any new relationships. I help to identify and resolve conflicts of the loss which may prevent the healthy processing of grief stages. Grief and loss is part of life for everyone, healthy grief is necessary to overall well being.

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.

Unfortunately, almost no one is immune from experiencing grief and loss at some point in their life. My approach to grief includes exploration of underlying emotions and core attachment injuries using Emotionally Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). During the process, we will explore underlying emotional injuries to allow for healing.

Obviously, everyone deals with grief and loss in a different manner. The greatest gift we can give anyone going through the grieving process, is to offer them a safe atmosphere, nonjudgmental, in which they are able to tell their story. This process can involve talking, journaling, therapeutic letter writing, and an encouragement to openly express all feelings, no matter how difficult they may be.
