Grief is like a knife, it can cut to the core but it can also be used to shape our futures and serve us well.
There are few experiences as painful as losing someone you love. It disrupts many aspects of your life including your mental, emotional and physical sense of well-being. As a grief psychologist, I help you understand this disruption. With this understanding, you can regain a sense of balance in your life and navigate your way through this unfamiliar world. You may also discover a new you that is still standing and able to see hope on the horizon.
How do you know if you need grief therapy?
You may wonder if you should seek help with your grief. If you find that the people around you are tired of hearing about your loss or if you are uncomfortable with the disruption your grief is causing you in your daily living, then you may want to to talk to someone about it.
Important to Note
I specialize in grief work and have done so for the past 16 years. Many therapists will list it as one of their areas of work, but that is not the same as specializing in it.
My Background
I have dual training as both a bereavement specialist and a licensed clinical psychologist. This allows me to specialize in grief work and to also treat individuals with general psychological problems. For complicated bereavement cases, having training in both is especially helpful as I can recognize and focus on psychological barriers that prevent growth.
I have worked in the field of bereavement for over 16 years. The range of individuals and groups I have treated is broad, from combat veterans to children suffering from traumatic loss.
