Grief and Loss Counseling in Brownstown, MI.

Dealing with grief and loss is an experience no one wants to go through, yet a club that unfortunately almost everyone eventually joins. When you lose someone important in your life, it is like the world is on a moving sidewalk and everyone keeps going when you have stepped off and are watching life go by. There are no right ways or wrong ways to grieve. It is only important to allow yourself whatever you need as you go through the experience. It is very lonely to take the journey alone; I am here to walk beside you as you start to heal.

There are various methods of Personal Counseling, each based on the individual counselor and the needs of the client.

Give me a call and we can work together through this troubling and sensitive time in your life. We will discuss different coping strategies and how to navigate emotional triggers of your loss.

I am a psychotherapist who understands life, especially after a significant loss, can feel like a daily struggle. No one should have to endure these feelings alone. I compassionately listen and support clients as well as offer a therapeutic counseling relationship that provides the opportunity to emotionally move forward and bring a healthy balance back into their lives. It is possible to heal, gain a sense of well-being, restore hope, and rekindle happiness even during the most challenging times.

Grief is a natural reaction to any form of loss, especially someone’s death. It goes beyond mere sadness and often evokes feelings of confusion, doubt, guilt, anger, and other complex emotions. ​ There’s no right way to grieve — everyone reacts to loss differently and grieves in their own way. There’s also no normal duration for grief; it may take months or years to accept the loss of a loved one. Nonetheless, most people can indeed recover from loss with the help of a great social support network and healthy coping mechanisms. Grief counseling provides the necessary support for those finding it hard to recover.

Grieving is a personal and highly individual experience. How you grieve depends on many factors, including your personality and coping style, your life experience, your faith, and the nature of the loss. The grieving process takes time. Healing happens gradually; it can't be forced or hurried-and there is no "normal" timetable for grieving. Grief counseling may be necessary if you have become disabled by your grief, overwhelmed by loss to the extent that your normal coping processes are disabled or shut down.

Grief and loss can touch every part of life, leaving you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and uncertain. Healing from loss takes time, compassion, and support. Therapy offers a safe place to honor your grief, process your emotions, and rebuild a sense of hope and meaning. Whether you’re coping with the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a major life transition, you don’t have to navigate the journey alone. Healing is possible.

Losing someone or something you love is profoundly painful. One of the greatest myths we hear is that “time heals all wounds.” In reality, time often deepens the ache unless we give ourselves permission to grieve. Healing requires space to mourn, honor what has been lost, and gently begin to carry it in a new way. It is my privilege to walk alongside clients as they move through grief toward healing, meaning, and peace.
