Grief and Loss Counseling in Simsbury, CT.

We are built for attachment, yet loss is inevitable. Since it is an unfortunate part of reality, it is paramount that we learn to process and wade through the intense emotions of grief. We don't need to shy away from this process, but actually lean into it and allow ourselves to habituate to the pain. I feel very comfortable with sadness and tears and encourage the expression and tolerance of all painful feelings.

Grief counseling can help you bring relief to your distress, and bring greater awareness, understanding, and compassion for the different parts of you walking out this devastating time in your life. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals who are stepping out in courage to begin picking up the pieces of their lives and choose to believe in themselves as they start to write their next chapter. I would love to help you through this grief journey by utilizing a blend of my experience in emotionally focused individual therapy and internal family systems to build a secure attachment within yourself that can support you through some of your hardest seasons in life.

Losing someone or something is incredibly hard. I believe that one of the great myths that we are told is simply that “time heals all wounds.” Time can actually reinforce the pain of loss and it is important to mourn and grieve that which we no longer have. I am honored to partner with my clients on their journey through healing and finding peace after a loss. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Does the moment of loss replay over and over in your mind, even months or years after the death? Do you find it hard to think about the good times without thinking about your loss? Do you feel like you are stuck and can’t move forward in your life? Are regret and guilt crippling your life? Healing grief and loss is about getting to a place of perfect peace where you can 1) think about your loved one's death without it being an open wound, 2) think about the good times you shared with them and truly enjoy each memory and 3) honor their life and the relationship you shared by developing a network of relationships that can continue to feed and nourish your soul as they once did.

Grief is an individualized internal experience.There is no right way or right amount of time to grieve. Dialoguing about life and death, disappointments and future opportunities allows each person the space to grieve and also recreate their lives from this moment on. In my 30+ years of clinical practice, I assist my clients as they experience the emotional pain and the full recognition of their loss. I support them as they build the emotional resilience to overcome their grief, turning their energy into future opportunities.

Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy but it doesn't have to devastate you either. My therapy approach is well suited to minimizing the negative effects of grief and loss while honoring the natural progression of emotions while adjusting to life without this person or this human function. I also provide a variety of resources for you so that you feel supported while you go through the process.

I process with the client verbally the loss in regards to family of origin whether it be relatives, close friends, or work relationships. Over a period of sessions, the grief becomes less and less, and the client is able to concentrate on moving forward and letting go, and return to an active lifestyle both emotionally and physically. I provide for a safe environment that leads to healing, support, and empathy.
