We were never meant to know the pain of grief and loss. Yet, we do and it leaves us in shock, angry, sad, confused and numb. Let's lean in together and honor that pain you are feeling.
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.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex emotions of loss and grief with a compassionate, person-centered approach. My care includes supportive counseling and evidence-based therapies to address the emotional impact of losing a loved one. I work with you to process your feelings, find coping strategies, and eventually find a path towards healing and acceptance. My goal is to support you through this challenging time, helping you to honor your grief while fostering resilience and hope for the future.
Are you experiencing the loss of someone or a relationship near you? Are you experiencing anger, sadness, or pain? Maybe you are asking yourself how or why this happened. Or you may even be experiencing guilt or regret. The five stages of loss & grief often repeats in cycles for a long time after the loss occurred, but rarely people actively do something about it, and more often due to believing that there is nothing they could do but give it time. Without proper processing and healing of the grief, time can only do so much. I have extensive experiences helping clients processing their grief & loss, which has often decreased their recovering process time tremendously.
Have you lost someone important to you in your life and are struggling to move forward? Do people try to tell you that you need to grieve differently or make you feel wrong for not grieving the way they think you should? Grief is a very personal reaction to loss in our can impact us very deeply, sometimes changing our entire lives. After a significant loss, we tend to start seeing the world as “before” and “after” the loss occurred. We can find ourselves feeling deeply rooted emotions of sadness, of anger, of betrayal, or of longing or even find ourselves feeling numb and not able to feel anything at all.
I’m no stranger to grief. While I have had extensive training in my 20 years of being a licensed mental health counselor, my experience goes beyond that training to my personal experiences with loss- including the lost of my elder son when he was barely 23. Even though we will all lose someone close to us sooner or later, when the time comes, often times we are unprepared. My experience was not your experience but my experience taught me so much more than any book or workshop could teach me. I love bringing honor to my son in many ways but one of those ways is by helping others manage their issues with grief and loss and help them learn to move forward while never forgetting the ones they have left behind. We are the sum total of all of the people we love and all of the experiences we have had and even though our loss may never be replaced, we CAN learn to create a new life in the new circumstances.
My counseling style is warm and interactive and I strongly believe that ANYONE can make changes in their life. My passion is helping YOU create a life you love and relationships that nurture and support you.
It takes courage to take the steps to create a more fulfilling, happier life and to take the first steps towards making changes. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you!
Every act of embracing something new involves the letting go of something old. Loss denied and grief disallowed are the roadblocks against vitaity. Safety and trust are the foundations that allow the acceptance of loss and the experience of grief and protect against the horrible distortions that can result from defense against the completion of experience.

The Hypnotic Grief and Loss process developed by the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy (Tampa, Fl) and 5-PATH (The Five Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy), which is a comprehensive way to address and release all negative emotions, perceptions and change the inner programs (early life negative beliefs and subconscious decisions) that trigger those emotions and perceptions.
