Grief and Loss Counseling in Boca Raton, FL.

Our approach to healing from grief and loss integrates humanistic principles, hypnotherapy, and rapid reduction techniques to facilitate profound transformation and restoration of inner balance. We recognize that grief extends beyond the loss of a person and encompasses various facets of life, such as the loss of self, a job, an identity, or a relationship. By combining humanistic therapy, which honors the individual's inherent capacity for growth and self-actualization, with hypnotherapy and rapid reduction techniques, we provide a holistic framework for healing. Rapid Reduction techniques enable individuals to swiftly release agonizing thoughts and emotions and their impact on your life.

We help our client to heal and process grief and loss through holding safe space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Everyone grieves differently, but it can be very beneficial to receive support from loved ones and therapists as you cope with grief and loss. Collaborative therapy, Emotionally-Focused therapy, grief psychoeducation, and techniques such as EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) can be especially helpful.

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.

My therapeutic approach to grief and loss is deeply rooted in compassion and personalized support. Everyone experiences grief & loss differently, and thus, my approach is unique to each individual & their experience with grief & loss. Navigating the complexities of bereavement can be difficult.

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 don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

When dealing with grief and loss, it is important to hold space for the pain that comes with this type of experience. Too often, we are told that we need to "just get over it" without fully understanding and processing the experience. Letting go is not something that happens overnight, and it is never the goal of our work together. Instead we find ways to honor the experience and find gratitude for the ways in which it has enriched our lives. The ultimate goal is to gain a greater understanding for why we had to go through the pain and ultimately find a sense of peace and healing.

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.

Grieving the loss of a loved one is deeply personal, and I am here to provide the support and understanding you need during this difficult time.

I will help you navigate the complex emotions that accompany loss, providing tools and strategies to process your grief in a healthy way. My goal is to support you as you find a path toward healing and acceptance.

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.

Grieving the loss of a person, a pet, or the end of a marriage/relationship, or any other major life circumstance that triggers the feelings of loss can, at times, feel overwhelming. Feelings of loneliness, fear, pain, yearning, anxiety, emptiness, and anger are just some emotions you may be experiencing, which are completely normal. It can affect your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Sometimes it feels like we can't talk to those closest to us about our feelings of grief because they are grieving themselves or we feel like a burden. You do not need to do it alone; I will provide a safe space for you to talk about the loss, process your feelings, and rediscover how to find joy.

A lot of people run from grief work - I don't. I understand the pain of loss and I will help you through the darkness. Grief is a very profound and personal experience. The pain of loss never goes away completely - that person will always be an important part of your life and experience. I am happy to help you walk through that pain so that you are not alone in your grief.

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.
