Grief & loss are usually considered when we lose a loved one or part ways from a long-term relationship. These circumstances are certainly related to grief & loss, but we should also consider grief & loss in a much broader context. This includes the grief that is felt anytime we suffer a loss of any significant proportion. Often overlooked when considering grief & loss are issues related to losing any integral part of one's identity, transitioning into a new stage of life & leaving the previous stage behind, losing a job or career, or experiencing a loss of a part of one's self (e.g., innocence, confidence, religion, etc.). I use existential therapy & CBT to treat all issues of grief & loss.

In Grief & Loss Therapy, I'll give you a safe and accepting place to work with the complex emotions that come with loss.

Also, I want to help you regain meaning and purpose in your life after experiencing loss by providing you with new views and insights. I believe that by going through this, we can find a way to assist you to get past your grief and accept the possibility of a fulfilling future.

You may experience grief from any significant loss including loss of a person, divorce, job loss, loss of health, loss of a friend who has moved, or loss of the familiar when you move. Each kind of loss affects each person in a different way. Common feelings include numbness, not feeling yourself, anger, depression and anxiety.

Our approach is as a supportive guide, helping you make the transition by understanding and coping with your feelings and reactions, developing self-care, support, and compassion and helping you reach a stage of acceptance.

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. .

Death of a loved one, Suicide, Overdose, loss of a job, a dream, sobriety,...the list goes on...these and more leave us left with the knowledge that our lives are out of control and can be changed without our consent. These thoughts are often time too much and lead us into behaviors, feelings and negative self talk. Being able to tolerate your grief and loss often takes another person to join us on the journey. Some one who will not judge, shame or condemn us no matter what we say or feel about ourselves. When working with these issues Psychotherapy, Gestalt, Grief, DBT and narrative therapy are the modalities which I use.

Personal loss digs deep at our spirits - it brings us to our knees yet charges that space with potential growth!

This is the outcome which broadens and deepens our spirits. I'd be honored to walk there with you!

Grief and loss can come in so many forms. Losing someone you love, whether it is from an end to a relationship or death, can be very distressing. It can cause depression and fears that there may not be anything or anyone better of you out there. Therapy can help you not only to learn to take better care of yourself but help you move forward with your life in positive and healthy ways.

Change is hard, especially when it arrives in the form of a loved one’s passing, the end of a significant relationship, or estrangement from family or friends. It might also manifest as the loss of a job or home due to circumstances beyond your control or other unforeseen and abrupt transitions. Grieving can feel isolating, frustrating, and confusing as a host of emotions show up, relentless and unbidden. Most of us don’t naturally possess the tools to deal with the intensity of emotion, and so we get stuck, unable to break free from its grip, and uncertain about how to proceed. Grief counseling can help. I can be your companion and witness in grief as you walk this difficult journey.

Experiencing the death of a loved one or facing another form of loss can make you feel like you are surrounded by darkness and loneliness. But the darkness will subside and your grief can be healed.

If your grief has led to depression or a debilitating anxiety then we can help you with that too. And we will do all of this with the gift of faith.

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.

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.

Are you overwhelmed by grief or loss of a relationship? The grieving processing is different for everyone. Decision-making is impaired. Fear and anxiety about the future can manifest themselves in physical as well as emotional symptoms. I help clients to find hope and encouragement in the midst of their suffering. Don't go it alone. Get the support and relief that you need.

Grief and loss are NORMAL and they happen to every person. The way we deal with loss is what separates us. A lot of the time we associate loss with pain. We program ourselves to stuff such intense, emotional feelings. Stuffing along with judgement of ourselves and the world around us, usually will lead you into a dark place. My goal is to help you view grief and loss in an objective nonjudmental way. We will debunk false beliefs about ourselves, emotions, and learn new ways of dealing with our situations.

Grief and loss is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.
