Grief and Loss Counseling in Locust, NC.

I have 40 years of experience in helping people deal with grief and loss. I see grieving as a potential growth experience that can be a catalyst for change in their lives. I use a family system approach to grieving. Which means I am able to help people adjust to the loss of loved ones and heal relationships, both present and past, that can be impacted by the loss.

Grief is not anyway natural or pathological. My approach to grief is to meet you where you are. Grief if a tough thing to deal with so we take our time and walk this journey together. I educate and sympathize with you while you are grieving in order to allow them to feel safe. In this journey you will connect feelings and allow yourself time to heal with he support of loving support and care.

Working through grief and loss can be confusing and feel isolating. With my approach, I can walk alongside you through the different stages of grief, help you identify the unique ways you are currently grieving now and will need to grieve in the future, and bring you back to a place of resolution regarding your loss. I'm available for free 20-minute phone consultations or by email to further discuss your needs, answer any questions you might have, and outline what the therapy process can look like for you.

While I work with more traditional grief and loss, many of my clients have grief over what they didn't get during childhood. We explore the feelings around not knowing you were autistic or ADHD, and all of the lost time and relationships that have come from that. Grief isn't only about death- we also grieve the parenting we needed but didn't get, past relationships, past friendships, and more. We will work together to find ways to recognize and honor those losses, in a way that is meaningful for you and helps you get the closure you need. And grief is never a comparison to someone else- all loss is painful, and together we can help you find peace.
