Grief and Loss Counseling in Kent, WA.

When grief and loss hit, life can feel unbearable. When this happens, we sometimes try to avoid our painful feelings, but this never works for long and can lead to unhealthy ways of coping. As hard as it is, the way to heal from loss is to lean into the pain instead of running away from it. I provide a safe place for my clients to heal and move through their pain so they can fully engage in life again.

My approach to grief and loss begins with the understanding that suffering is a natural and unavoidable part of being human.

Grief can touch every part of life emotionally, mentally, and physically. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a life transition, or a version of yourself, the experience can feel heavy and isolating. Therapy offers a supportive space to process emotions at your own pace while gently making sense of the pain, changes, and emotions that can come with loss.

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.
