Grief and loss are universal experiences; but when your heart is broken, friends and family may not know what to say. Each of us grieves in our unique way.... and a psychologist knows how to listen so you feel understood. Your numbness, anger, or overwhelming sadness are validated. You feel safe and supported in your own healing process..

The loss of someone significant in our lives can be life altering. It offers more changes and emotions than we could have anticipated. Loss is processed differently at different points in life. I specialize in children and adolescent's grief and loss issues. A child's grief is often wrapped up their identity, sense of the world and their safety. I support young people in exploring all areas grief effects, for them personally. It isn't just people we lose. The journey through childhood can present other loses that impact self-of-self and the world.

Grief is our whole body's response to loss. Our body responds emotionally, spiritually, and mentally to all our losses. Dealing with grief is a "required course" in our lives. If we do not deal directly and meaningfully with our grief, then our lives are going to be diminished significantly. It is not true that "time heals all wounds". However, it is true that time--WITH DETERMINED FOCUS--heals most wounds. Don't wait for time to just "pass by" and end up even further behind. Call--let's do the grief work that honors those we have lost AND makes space for a future that has a smile.

I have been treating clients with grief-related issues since 1995. I understand the void of losing loved ones and work closely with my clients to help them realize their potential, once a loved one passes away. I also am experienced in treating grief issues which are unrelated to death, but have a very similar impact. Those abandoned by a loved one can be devastating. I see my role as assisting my clients in making sense of their sometimes unbearable circumstances and learning to create a positive future for themselves, in spite of their emotional pain. I provide a safe, compassionate environment to move through the grieving process, which is crucial for recovery.

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.
