Grief and Loss Counseling in Zebulon, NC.

Clients with eating disorders must grieve the loss of their thin fantasy if they are to recover successfully. I challenge clients to address what beliefs they have long held about who they will be, how they will feel, what opportunities they will have and satisfaction they will achieve when they are thin. I ask them to reach for those things now, in the bodies they currently have instead of waiting until that day when they see themselves as "good enough". Believing that they must be thin to deserve good in their lives keeps them stuck . The willingness to grieve the thin fantasy allows them to offer a bit of what they really crave, unconditional love.

I specialize in treating grief and loss, and believe that counseling after losing a loved one can be a helpful, healthy and effective way to process feelings and work towards healing. I like to educate my clients about grief, because there are many misconceptions about grief. I walk with people through their pain and work hard to help them honor and memorialize their loved ones as they work hard to keep living their lives with purpose and value.

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.
