Grief and Loss Counseling in Splendora, TX.

Grief & loss are usually considered when we lose a loved one or part ways from a long-term relationship. These circumstances are certainly related to grief & loss, but we should also consider grief & loss in a much broader context. This includes the grief that is felt anytime we suffer a loss of any significant proportion. Often overlooked when considering grief & loss are issues related to losing any integral part of one's identity, transitioning into a new stage of life & leaving the previous stage behind, losing a job or career, or experiencing a loss of a part of one's self (e.g., innocence, confidence, religion, etc.). I use existential therapy & CBT to treat all issues of grief & loss.

Are you overwhelmed by grief or loss of a relationship? The grieving processing is different for everyone. Decision-making is impaired. Fear and anxiety about the future can manifest themselves in physical as well as emotional symptoms. I help clients to find hope and encouragement in the midst of their suffering. Don't go it alone. Get the support and relief that you need.

I have a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of St. Thomas. Opportunities working with kids in foster care established my foundation in understanding the social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. Additionally, I have worked with adolescents and adults with goals to improve anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, and more. Are you ready to embark on a path toward healing and positive change? I am here to provide compassionate support and guidance. Let's work together toward a brighter future.

Grief and loss can come in so many forms. Losing someone you love, whether it is from an end to a relationship or death, can be very distressing. It can cause depression and fears that there may not be anything or anyone better of you out there. Therapy can help you not only to learn to take better care of yourself but help you move forward with your life in positive and healthy ways.

All people perceive and/or experience loss in their lives. As part of the healing process I support people in transforming these experiences to a place of safety and acceptance. Together we extend the human power to survive and thrive despite adversity. My client's lives are enhanced as the negative impact of loss and grieving is diminished and a positive shift is experienced in their awareness.

Personal loss digs deep at our spirits - it brings us to our knees yet charges that space with potential growth! I understand and deeply value your pain because it represents so much more than mere hurting. Allowing ourselves to feel/make sense of our despair - and navigate a safe course through the sorrow brings us closer to clarity and ultimate healing. This is the outcome which broadens and deepens our spirits. I'd be honored to walk there with you!

Grief and loss are NORMAL and they happen to every person. The way we deal with loss is what separates us. A lot of the time we associate loss with pain. We program ourselves to stuff such intense, emotional feelings. Stuffing along with judgement of ourselves and the world around us, usually will lead you into a dark place. My goal is to help you view grief and loss in an objective nonjudmental way. We will debunk false beliefs about ourselves, emotions, and learn new ways of dealing with our situations.

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.

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.
