Grief and Loss Counseling in Sugarmill Woods, FL.

Grief and loss comes in many forms including death and divorce or separation. Moving forward after a loss can be a very stressful experience and often that loss means a loss of part of your identity as a person. Managing grief and moving forward in life will benefit individuals spiritually, psychologically and physically in a variety of ways. I use a variety of techniques to help with grief and loss issues and take a very individualized approach to maximize benefits.

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.

Grief and loss are the intensely personal emotions that occur after losing a loved one. Grief can also occur after the loss of a pregnancy, a divorce, a terminal diagnosis, the loss of a beloved pet, and changes in your health or the health of a loved one. Even the simplest tasks can trigger feelings of grief after experiencing a loss making everyday life feel impossible. Through empathy and the safe environment you'll receive in therapy, you can feel supported as you move through all of the emotions that grief brings with it. You can move towards acceptance and discover what your life looks like after loss.

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.

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.

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.
