Counseling for the Grieving Soul
"Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the overwrought heart and bids it break.”
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare
Have you recently experienced the death of someone dear to you? A spouse? A child? A parent or sibling? Another family member?
Or perhaps a treasured friend has died? Or a beloved pet?
Has a recent trauma disrupted your life? Or is an old trauma obstructing your path forward?
Or maybe your career has suddenly derailed, or, you've finally retired, and now you're wondering what's next?
Or perhaps your marriage or relationship has taken a turn for the worse?
Or a long desired dream has stalled to a dead end?
And you're left struggling with knowing how to move forward?

You've come to the right place.
Grief is a natural response to the death of someone you love or know. It's also a natural response to the ending of a life you once held dear, or, a life you eagerly anticipated that will never come to pass.
There's an organic process of emotional healing that takes place and it takes time and effort to mend a heart that's been shattered by loss. And especially when grief is long lasting, unresolved, or traumatically induced, it can often feel debilitating, robbing you of joy, motivation, energy, and sense of purpose.
I'm intimately familiar with the territory of grief, loss, transition, and disappointment. I know how scary, shaky, and dark it can feel. I understand what it's like to try to find your footing amidst the rubble of what was once your life.
As an experienced grief and loss specialist I can help you navigate this unfamiliar and troubling terrain. Based on your unique circumstances we will custom design a plan to help alleviate your pain and suffering. With my help you can mourn what's been lost and simultaneously create a new life. I'll help you re-connect to your sense of purpose and restore a sense of meaning in life. I'll help you forge a new path and even learn to find joy again.
