Grief and Loss Counseling in Stockbridge, MI.

Whether the lost loved one is a spouse, parent, sibling, child, pet, friend, or other cherished person. Everyone deals with death differently and in their own special way. I see loss is a part of the circle of life it is inevitable and unavoidable. I use creative visualization techniques to help you connect and gain closure with your loved one that has passed on.

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.

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.

I provide a safe and supportive environment in which to help you deal with the pain of grief and loss, from the death of a loved one or loss of a pet, to divorce or the end of a career. Together, we'll explore the emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and practical impacts that grief and loss can have on your life, as well as ways to take care of yourself during this difficult time.

Stay connected to what was lost but regain control of your life. You don't want to move forward. You don't want to find that "new normal." You don't want to let go. You also know life will never be the same & need help understanding, moving forward & taking control of what you can control. With work, & time, this can be. You can control the what's next for you. I help those grieving to identify what they are feeling, make sense of the process as best they can, & begin to heal. You will never stop missing your loved one but we will look at ways to heal & also remain connected to what has been lost through memory, reflection, ritual, & expression.

When someone we love dies it shatters our world. After the shock wears off the pain sets in and life becomes a struggle as we try to rebuild our life without the person we love. Healing from grief takes time, longer than most people realize. My prior experience as a Hospice bereavement counselor has given me an in depth understanding of the grieving process. The approach I use helps the grieving person understand the bereavement process in order to normalize their grief and give expression to their many emotions. I also address the other factors that may complicate the grief. Grief counseling can help you begin to heal and eventually find meaning and purpose in your life.

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.
