I am trained as a Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGDT) provider by the Center for Complicated Grief at Columbia University. The structured protocol addresses "stuck grief" that is marked by an attachment fissure that causes rumination, excessive guilt, loss of former interests and hopelessness 6 months and longer (sometimes many years) after a significant loss. PGDT is evidence-based and has a over a 70 percent efficacy rate for movement into adaptive grief.

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.

In my Grief and Loss therapy approach, I prioritize establishing a safe and supportive environment that allows clients to navigate the complexities of their emotions. Central to this approach is the validation of their grief, acknowledging the unique and often overwhelming feelings associated with loss. By creating a non-judgmental space, I encourage clients to openly express and process their thoughts and emotions surrounding the loss. This approach emphasizes the importance of honoring the client's grief journey, fostering a therapeutic alliance that respects their pace and individual needs, and facilitating a pathway toward healing and meaning-making in the aftermath of loss.

The pain of grief always passes with expression, not avoidance. Counseling grants you permission to grieve. Grieving in the presence of another person is more restorative that grieving alone, but often times friends or family may unknowingly inhibit your grief. Counseling removes all expectations and pressures, allowing your grief to come on its own. Grief counseling makes room for emotions you may not expect, know how to explain, or may feel guilty about. Your expression of grief will ease your pain and make life seem livable again.

There are many challenges associated with grieving the loss of a loved one, whether to death or the loss of a relationship.

I help individuals work through the four tasks of mourning (accept the reality of the loss, work through the pain of grief, adjust to life without the deceased, and maintain a connection to the deceased while moving on with life.

I use a Biblical / Christian approach to grief and loss. I help you encounter Jesus where your pain is so that you not only know, but experience his presence walking with you in your suffering. It's important to be able to give Jesus your feelings and allow him to sit with you while you're feeling them so you can ultimately release them and experience his healing and comfort.

My experience working at Children's Hospital of Dallas and Methodist Hospital has helped me to understand that the stages of grief are not linear, but circular. You can be very sad one day and angry the next. Sometimes, all of the stages in the same day. Learn to work through each of these stages as they occur (and reoccur) to move to a place of greater peace. Many look for relief from the feelings- learn healthier ways to engage the process without relying on unhealthy fixes or coping mechanisms.

Grief and loss counseling provides a supportive and compassionate space for individuals navigating the challenging journey of grief. As a counselor, I can offer solace and guidance to those experiencing profound loss, helping them navigate the complex emotions and stages of grief. By providing a non-judgmental environment, I encourage clients to express their feelings, process their grief, and explore healthy coping mechanisms. Through empathetic listening, validation, and therapeutic techniques, I aim to empower individuals to heal, find meaning, and rebuild their lives after experiencing the profound impact of loss.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.

Grief is a highly individual process, as unique as the people experiencing it. Everything from our personal histories and culture to personality traits and temperament affects how we experience and cope with a major loss in our life. That said, based on my own work as a counselor, it seems to me there are some common themes in the stories of people who manage to grieve well. We can help you heal through Gods' Word to help you think about and navigate your own grieving process in a compassionate, constructive, and healthy way.

Grief and loss is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.

Grief is hard. Grief is natural. Animals grieve. Grief is something we feel deep in our bodies and can be disorienting and destabilizing. Grief brings up questions about who we are, the world, the existence or goodness of God, and purpose and futility of life. Dealing with grief, especially when the loss is traumatic and unexpected, requires a slow and tender space to allow the grief to move through our body and to settle in our hearts with warmth and memory. I am here to help you grieve the loss of your loved one, experience, health , future or even your beloved pet. .
