I work with clients who struggle with Grief and Loss issues. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you resolve such issues in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently.
In a secure atmosphere of trust & confidentiality, I help patients understand the obstacles interfering with reaching their potential & use those insights to enhance personal growth, self esteem, and fulfillment in life.
Grief is a complex emotional experience that can be overwhelming to navigate alone. I provide support and psychoeducation about grief to support clients in making meaning of the losses life brings. This includes grief related to the break-up of a relationship, the diagnosis of a chronic medical condition, or any other life stressor involving loss.
Grief doesn't make sense, it can be difficult to manage and throw us into places we didn't know existed. It's not often fair that others get to live their lives while yours might be falling apart. There are various kinds and stages of grief and some folks may be seeking help because they don't know how to feel while others feel too much. There's no right way to grieve; sometimes it can impact our lives unexpectedly. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.
My approach to working with loss and grief involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their feelings of loss and commit to actions that honor their values, fostering resilience and adaptability in the face of grief. EMDR is utilized to process and resolve traumatic memories associated with the loss, allowing clients to work through their pain and find closure. SE addresses the physiological manifestations of grief, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of equilibrium. This holistic approach supports clients in navigating the complex emotions of loss and grief, promoting healing and overall well-being.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in loss and grief, I provide compassionate and effective support to individuals dealing with the loss of a loved one or the end of a relationship. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies such as CBT, is tailored to address the unique needs of each person.
In my therapeutic practice, I often utilize Narrative Therapy techniques to help clients navigate their experience of loss or grief by facilitating the exploration and reconstruction of their personal narratives surrounding the loss. Additionally, I integrate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to assist clients in acknowledging their emotions, accepting their loss, and committing to actions that align with their values, fostering resilience and meaning-making in the grieving process. Drawing from Person-Centered Therapy principles, I provide a supportive and empathetic space for clients to express their emotions and process their grief at their own pace, honoring their unique journey towards healing and adjustment.
My approach with loss and grief involves providing a compassionate space where you can process your emotions and come to terms with your loss. It focuses on validating your feelings, exploring the impact of your loss, and supporting you as you navigate the grieving process.
My approach involves creating a safe space for my clients to express their emotions, explore the meaning of their loss, and navigate the stages of grief at their own pace.
