We tend to only think of grief as being associated with death. But allowing yourself to grieve is an important part of healing from any loss.

Time does heal, and yet, when you are experiencing grief, time passes differently for you than it does for others around you. People who love and care for you may not be aware that your grief remains pervasive, persistent and intense, even as the days, months and years pass. Therapy continues the processing of healing losses, safely, with someone you can trust. Grief therapy allows you to talk about your loved one, your experience, your sadness in order to move you gently along the pathway to healing.

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.

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.

Grief and loss occurs in many forms. It may not be due to the actual death of a person, but the loss or end of a special relationship. Exploring the many facets of this relationship and the ways in which this person added meaning to your life can be beneficial in moving forward with your life.

My approach to helping individuals or families with grief or loss is to understand what the person or animal in their life meant to them while they were living. We will explore their life as a celebration of living. Narrative therapy would be used to allow their story to be explored before the loss and then in the present.

I am trained as a Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGDT) provider by the Center for Complicated Grief at Columbia University. The structured protocol addresses "stuck grief" that is marked by an attachment fissure that causes rumination, excessive guilt, loss of former interests and hopelessness 6 months and longer (sometimes many years) after a significant loss. PGDT is evidence-based and has a over a 70 percent efficacy rate for movement into adaptive grief.

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.

I am here to help you grieve the loss of your loved one, experience, health , future or even your beloved pet. .

In my approach to Grief & Loss Therapy, clients will benefit from a compassionate and personalized journey towards healing and understanding their unique experiences of loss.
