Grief and Loss Counseling in Bellevue, IL.

Grief and loss changes us in unseen ways. Whether it is sudden or an anticipated loss, our lives can be turned upside down and we don't know where to turn. Peace, wholeness, and happiness feels gone with those we loved. I will walk with you as we put the pieces back together and help you to step into an unknown future with peace, hope, and optimism.

Grief and loss is a process that does not follow steps in a certain order. We help process the loss in the hopes of giving a strong meaning to the life event, so that you feel that you can carry whatever you feel that has been lost in a healthy way. Our goal is for clients to thaw and leave the process having a new meaning about their loss. Grief and loss can feel like a very lonely experience; however, a client does not have to be alone.

In my approach to grief and loss therapy, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can process their emotions at their own pace. I integrate evidence-based practices such as narrative therapy and mindfulness to help individuals explore their loss, acknowledge the complexities of their grief, and find pathways to healing. Clients benefit from tailored support that honors their unique experiences while fostering resilience and acceptance. My goal is to help clients build meaning and navigate their journey with empathy, leading to eventual emotional growth and restoration.

In my psychotherapy practice, I provide compassionate support for those experiencing grief and loss. I create a safe space for clients to express their emotions, process their pain, and find meaning in their experiences.

My goal is to guide patients toward acceptance and a renewed sense of hope and purpose.
