Grief and Loss Counseling in Trophy Club, TX.

My experience working at Children's Hospital of Dallas and Methodist Hospital has helped me to understand that the stages of grief are not linear, but circular. You can be very sad one day and angry the next. Sometimes, all of the stages in the same day. Learn to work through each of these stages as they occur (and reoccur) to move to a place of greater peace. Many look for relief from the feelings- learn healthier ways to engage the process without relying on unhealthy fixes or coping mechanisms.

In Grief & Loss Therapy, I'll give you a safe and accepting place to work with the complex emotions that come with loss. Together, we'll work on creating coping mechanisms for handling your loss, avoiding problems, and recognizing the legitimacy of your feelings. Our sessions will also emphasize on your communication abilities so that you may better explain your needs and feelings to others who are supporting you. 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.

Personal loss in your life can sometimes feel overwhelming, impacting every thought, every move, every action you experience daily. Although it is a normal part of life, each person experiences loss differently. Professional counseling can help you deal with that loss, and the normal process of grieving to help you through the pain of loss. Giving a "voice" to your thoughts and feelings often works like relief valve, giving you the peace you need to face your loss. Call now if you are experiencing loss in your life so you can begin to heal.

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.

My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a deep understanding of the intricate emotional processes individuals go through when facing loss. Through tailored therapeutic techniques, clients will benefit by gaining insights into their grief, developing coping strategies, and finding ways to honor their loved ones while navigating the journey toward healing and resilience. Together, we will work towards finding a path forward, allowing you to gradually rebuild your life and discover a sense of hope and purpose amidst grief.

I know exactly how it feels to lose a love one, an important job, or even a dream. Loss is one of the most painful human experiences out there but you don't have to hurt forever. Sharing your pain in a safe setting with someone who genuinely care about you is very healing. Over time you can overcome the pain in your life. The trick to share your story with others who care.

Are you grieving? When you lose someone who is dear to you, it is helpful to have a safe, reliable person who you can talk to. Many folks have feelings to work through, and it is useful to process these with another person, especially when you are feelng the isolation of a loss. As you learn to accept your healthier emotional processes, you may then learn to allow yourself freedom to grieve in your own way.

Sometimes, when you're upset about a major loss in your life - loss of a relative, a relationship, or even a beloved pet - other people can't understand that you can't just "Get over it!" I will help you deal with the situation so you can move on with your life. By listening to what you say in a non-judgmental manner, I can help you find a solution that works for you, and gets you back into your life.

Grief is a highly individual process, as unique as the people experiencing it. Everything from our personal histories and culture to personality traits and temperament affects how we experience and cope with a major loss in our life. That said, based on my own work as a counselor, it seems to me there are some common themes in the stories of people who manage to grieve well. We can help you heal through Gods' Word to help you think about and navigate your own grieving process in a compassionate, constructive, and healthy way.

The pain of grief always passes with expression, not avoidance. Counseling grants you permission to grieve. Grieving in the presence of another person is more restorative that grieving alone, but often times friends or family may unknowingly inhibit your grief. Counseling removes all expectations and pressures, allowing your grief to come on its own. Grief counseling makes room for emotions you may not expect, know how to explain, or may feel guilty about. Your expression of grief will ease your pain and make life seem livable again.

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 counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.
