Grief and Loss Counseling in Queen Creek, AZ.

Experiencing grief and loss is generally something we can not escape in this human existence of ours. Yet, the language most people use to support us in our time of grief is generally not helpful. This is why having a counselor who understands how grief impacts your daily life and supports you whether the loss was recent or decades ago makes a difference in the journey to incorporating the grief into healing going forward.

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.

My approach to grief and loss therapy is rooted in empathy, validation, and creating a safe space for clients to process their emotions. I utilize an integrative approach, combining elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients navigate their grief journey. By acknowledging the unique nature of each person's loss, I tailor my methods to meet individual needs, encouraging clients to express their feelings and memories in a supportive environment. This therapeutic process allows clients to find meaning in their loss, develop healthy coping strategies, and gradually move towards acceptance and healing.

Recovering from a loss and overcoming feelings of grief may seem overwhelming, however with the assistance of a compassionate and skilled therapist, you can once again feel a sense of peace and happiness. The therapists of Mindful Wellness of Arizona are dedicated to assisting you with navigating the grieving process and will join you on your journey to healing.

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.

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.

Grief and Loss is a very common contributor to increased substance use. As a substance use counselor, my goal is to help people moderate or stop their use of substances so that they can process their grief and loss in healthy ways. If you have found yourself using alcohol or other substances to cope with grief or loss, feel free to contact me to see if therapy can be helpful to you.

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.

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.

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.
