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. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you process your grief.

My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a deep understanding of the intricate emotional processes individuals go through when facing loss. Through tailored therapeutic techniques, clients will benefit by gaining insights into their grief, developing coping strategies, and finding ways to honor their loved ones while navigating the journey toward healing and resilience. Together, we will work towards finding a path forward, allowing you to gradually rebuild your life and discover a sense of hope and purpose amidst grief.

Grief and loss are experiences that can affect everyone. The pain of losing a loved one, a relationship, or a job can happen at any stage of life. Grief can affect not just individuals but also couples, families, and communities. My approach to counseling grief and loss involves acknowledging your pain, providing a space for you to mourn, honoring the process of living with grief, and collaborating with you on defining what life looks like after your loss.

The loss of a loved one can be a life-shattering experience. It can be difficult to carry on with daily life. You are probably reading this because you are living through this difficult time. There may be times of day that are more difficult than others. You may have troubling memories or images. Or, your heart may be so broken that you don't know what to do. Traumatic death loss has additional challenges...you may be experiencing "secondary trauma". I have extensive experience in providing support for loss and trauma for both children and adults. You are welcome to call me to schedule a time for you to receive compassionate, respectful support.

We tend to only think of grief as being associated with death. But allowing yourself to grieve is an important part of healing from any loss. Some of the biggest losses are losses of ideals, beliefs, or what you thought you had. The loss of the belief that you had an honest and open marriage, for example, can be devastating and traumatic. Talking about this, instead of holding in your pain, is the only way to heal. I'd be honored to join you in this painful journey to help you find hope.

In my approach to counseling grief and loss, I am guided by values of empathy, respect, and support. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can openly express their feelings and experiences. Recognizing that grief is a deeply personal journey, I tailor my support to each individual’s unique process and timeline. I value the importance of honoring the client’s emotional experience, acknowledging their pain, and helping them find ways to navigate their grief while fostering resilience and hope. My goal is to walk alongside them with compassion and understanding, empowering them to find their own path through the healing process.

In Grief & Loss Therapy, I'll give you a safe and accepting place to work with the complex emotions that come with loss.

Our sessions will also emphasize on your communication abilities so that you may better explain your needs and feelings to others who are supporting you. Also, I want to help you regain meaning and purpose in your life after experiencing loss by providing you with new views and insights. I believe that by going through this, we can find a way to assist you to get past your grief and accept the possibility of a fulfilling future.

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.
