Grief and Loss Counseling in Brandon, FL.

Although many people experience grief and loss, each person's experience is both similar to others and, at the same time, uniquely different from that of others. The process is not time oriented but process oriented with each experience requiring its own pace and passage through developing stages of awareness. There is no prescribed time to be "finished with grieving" or "over it." Even though the work cannot be delegated to someone else to do for us, it helps to know there is someone who will walk alongside us in our journey.

Grief and loss can feel overwhelming, isolating, and deeply personal. My approach to grief therapy is compassionate, empathetic, and tailored to your unique experience. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can express your emotions freely, process the pain of loss, and begin to find meaning and hope again. Together, we’ll explore strategies to honor your feelings, build resilience, and rediscover moments of peace and connection. Healing is possible, and I’m here to walk this path with you.

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.

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.

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.
