Grief and Loss Counseling in Carefree, AZ.

There are times when our losses add up...I have seen numerous clients who have lost several significant people in their lives and then, after a time, their energy starts to diminish. It can take awhile for people to realize that these unresolved losses are the culprit. I actually relish the opportunity to help clients with these situations because we have tools to process the grief and loss, resulting in their feeling much better and ready to resume their lives! The secret is that unprocessed grief and loss require energy. We gently stimulate this stored energy so that it becomes free energy-which can then be used for living today.

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 dont include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

I help men who are dealing with grief and loss, either of a loved one or the loss of a marriage or a relationship. A lot of times it's really difficult for men to get in touch with their emotions, and in grief, it's often not an exception. Men have a hard time with grief, just like women, and have a hard time experiencing loss. For guys, loss is not something that were used to, because we're often so acclimated to winning. to be a man is to win in our society, but life often has other plans. I help men struggle through the difficult experiences of grief and loss, and come out the other side.

I have worked with individuals, couples, children, and families as they cope with the loss of a loved one. More specifically, I coordinated a family bereavement program and provided therapy to family members at San Diego Hospice. As the Clinical Supervisor in the Bereavement Department I supervised approximately ten to fifteen therapist interns a year and provided intensive training on the topic of grief. Grief and loss does not always show up the way you think it will and I will honor your space with compassion and heart to grieve in whatever way is right for you. Sometimes, even life events that are both good and bad can bring up feelings of loss such as graduation, change in job, moving,

As an experienced Christian Counselor and ordained pastor, I’ve supported many men through the grief process. If you’re grieving, I will provide a supportive space for you to process your emotions. Because grief is a normal part of being human, I can’t take it away or rush you through it. However, I can help you identify barriers to grief, and help you prevent the grief process from becoming stuck. I know grief professionally. But I also know grief personally. Losing one of my best friends and my beloved grandparents was hard enough, but facing the untimely death of my father was, and is, a uniquely painful experience. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you process your grief.

Facing the loss of someone or something you are bonded to is one of the most challenging aspects of being human. There is truly no right or wrong way to grieve, although well-meaning family and friends tend to have many opinions and time-lines as to what is proper grieving. I assist clients with grief on their own terms and help guide them to a place of understanding and patience with their process of grieving.

With my experience in ministry, in counseling, and in life-coaching, I’ve helped men work through the complicated emotions around grief and loss. As men we feel pressure to be a “rock” for everyone else. Then our wives tell us to open up and feel our feelings. But do they really want to see us fall apart? Like many things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Chances are that you’ve bravely put your feelings on hold to care for others, and regardless of what the world says, there’s love and nobility in that. And at the same time, you need a place to be real and work through the pain. If you’re ready to take the next step and face what needs to be faced, man to man, I’m here to help.

I provide grief and loss therapy in Gilbert, AZ. I understand how hard, confusing, and overwhelming it can be to experience a loss of any type. Losing someone or something that is close to you is devastating and often very traumatic. My approach to grief and loss therapy is to assist you in processing through the pain and emotions you are experiencing as a result of this loss, including grief, sadness, and despair. It is also my goal to help you work through these emotions in order to assist you in moving forward when the time is right and finding a way to navigate through life with a new outlook.

We work through processing grief and loss through meeting people where they are at in the grief process opposed to pushing or pulling them into a place where they are not ready to go. This means that we use a compassionate approach combined with tools and strategies to support movement through the grief process and to create closure and movement forward that honors the loss.

There are times when clients are not aware of their grief and loss issues. My approach is to bring these issues to light, educate them on the stages of grief, validate their pain and normalize their experience. When a client is given permission to grieve in a safe and supportive environment they begin to feel lighter and can embrace a new perspective.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.
