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.

Grief is hard. Grief is natural. Animals grieve. Grief is something we feel deep in our bodies and can be disorienting and destabilizing. Grief brings up questions about who we are, the world, the existence or goodness of God, and purpose and futility of life. Dealing with grief, especially when the loss is traumatic and unexpected, requires a slow and tender space to allow the grief to move through our body and to settle in our hearts with warmth and memory. I am here to help you grieve the loss of your loved one, experience, health , future or even your beloved pet. .

I am sincerely sorry you are suffering. When you lose someone, or something, important, it can be so very painful. I have a very high level of training in helping people with these sorts of pains. You may have lost a person, a relationship, or perhaps a pet? I understand how bad such losses can be. It can feel like no one will ever understand. But you will receive my full attention, support, and high level of both academic and clinical training as we work together to attempt to sensitively, properly process your loss and slowly increase your quality of life. I know you might be feeling at your worst, or even worse than your worst. I hope to have the priveledge of supporting you.

I emphasize the need to increase the reality of loss, to help the client deal with and overcome various barriers to changes created by the loss, and help the client feel comfortable engaging in any new relationships. I help to identify and resolve conflicts of the loss which may prevent the healthy processing of grief stages. Grief and loss is part of life for everyone, healthy grief is necessary to overall well being.

I watched my son walk to the bus stop on his first day of high school and thought "This is the beginning of the end". When he left for college four years later, I cried for three days. A new season in our relationship was beginning. And that also meant one was ending. Such losses and their ensuing grief, are on a continuum with death at one end and relationships changing on the other. Cor Counseling is a safe place to to grieve, to cry, to express anger or fear and, in your own time, to find a new normal.

Every day we catalogue any number of unique losses; being overlooked for a job promotion, relational cutoff with a family member, infidelity of spouse, separation or divorce, death of a loved one. These experiences can launch us into the grief cycle. It can be incredibly helpful to spend some processing any of these with someone. Grief can feel like a spin cycle of emotions of anger, fear, sadness and even an experience of feeling numb. Every person grieves in their own way. Our time together would be dedicated to (1) appropriately value and honor what was lost, (2) validate those feelings and (3) explore what it looks like to move forward.

Grief and traumatic events are all times in your life when you need someone to listen, interpret, reflect and help you navigate life's difficult passages. Additionally, as a Pastoral Clinically Trained Counselor, I can support your existential, faith, and spiritually related needs. I believe deeply in each person's innate resilience and ability to grow through life losses, transitions, and crises. My overall mission as your grief counselor is to serve as your grief companion and to depathologize and normalize your own grief experiences. My priority is to offer you compassionate, nonjudgmental listening, which moves you toward healing.
