Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, BC-TMH Psychotherapist, Business Consultant, Educator
When you have a loss you grieve. Grieving is much more than feeling sad. To fully grieve you may need help moving through all the emotions involved. I don't believe you will ever get over a loss. You can learn to be with it differently.
I have worked with individuals with serious and life-limiting illnesses who may be experiencing anticipatory grief in the context of their prognosis. Also, through working with older adults, I frequently support them in coping with grief that is a result of loss of loved ones and/or changes to their health and functioning. My goal is to support you through the grief process and to learn helpful coping strategies for grief.
Grieving the death of a loved one is of course entirely natural. At times, we may experience or feel we are stuck in our journey through grief. Together, we will process your feelings and determine how we can best help you move forward while still honoring your loved one.
Any significant loss in life requires a process for grieving. Sometimes it's hard to accept those losses, and we find ourselves stuck in suffering. This results in complicated grief that interferes with our ability to function.
