One-on-one
Grief Counseling
A unique 1:1 partnership in a safe, supportive space where you can express and manage the mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual responses to losses such as death, divorce, job loss or traumatic global events. It supports adjusting to new realities, overcoming trauma, and rebuilding your identity after loss.
Grief is merely love with nowhere to go…it simply needs another doorway
Who it's for
When life changes and losses feel like an end
Most people arrive here when they have suffered an overwhelming loss that they are struggling to cope with. When shock, anger, sadness, have set in. When the exhaustion of emotions and the struggle to keep going have become too much to bear. When our identity and Life have to be re-built without whom or what we have lost. When trauma associated with our loss has blocked us from functioning in our daily life. When the readiness to begin the healing process is present.
Together we slowly move through the stages of grief, understanding each stage as a circular process that is processed layer by layer. Your personal, social, cultural, and familial beliefs and expectations are explored in how they have shaped your grieving process. Faith and Spiritual perceptions are examined in what comes next.

Inside a Session
What 60 minutes actually looks like.
All sessions are private, unhurried, and conversational…a deliberate dialogue. They emphasize Self-Discovery combining both psychological and spiritual modalities, whatever the moment calls for. You leave with insight, a sense of healing and being heard, in addition to applicable and tangible strategies you can implement. All sessions build on the prior creating a continuum of self-understanding and growth.
