Grief and Loss Counseling in Gatesville, TX.

Each person moves through grief and loss at their own unique pace. There are no rules. It can be like both a roller coaster with ups and downs and a wave, rolling back and forth. I provide a safe place to feel and work through the pain and ways to hold onto the treasures that were formerly present in that which is now lost.

I will support and meet my clients where they are and help guide them towards healing in the process.

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. .

My approach to counseling grief and loss is to provide a calm, safe environment in which individuals who are experiencing grief are encouraged to allow themselves to grieve. I guide the grieving person in the sometimes difficult process of giving themselves "permission" to grieve. By helping the person overcome the barriers to the appropriate expression of grief feelings, the healing process can move forward. They also learn that it is not only normal to grieve, but also emotionally healthy.

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.
