Life is like a roller coaster, constantly surprising us with twists and turns. Sometimes they provoke happy reactions, and other times it feels as though we have had the wind knocked out of us. Grief counseling is something that is near and dear to my heart. I have done grief counseling with clients ranging from the ages of 18-60. I work to provide a safe environment for clients to begin processing some very difficult and traumatic events in their life. I work towards the goal of creating an atmosphere of comfort for my client based on trust, empathy, and understanding.
My main theoretical approach for therapy is person-centered, as well as drawing from a cognitive-behavioral approach. I believe people have self-awareness, personal strength, truthfulness and can be personally resourceful in these capabilities to create change in their lives. When reaching out to me, please email at this time.
I have dealt with lung disease for 30 years and cancer related topics for just over 10 years. Chronic/terminal illness provides a very unique set of emotions that can be very difficult to process. If you deal with either of these, I encourage you to reach out so that you and I can connect and build a bridge of trust and understanding.
