Grief Therapists in Shepherdsville, KY
I view the problems in living that typically bring people to psychotherapy - anxiety, grief, despair, guilt, self-doubt - not merely as symptoms to be reduced or eliminated, but as an indispensable communication, from yourself to yourself, that something within you is clamoring to be expressed, witnessed, accepted, and integrated.
The therapeutic relationship is the single best predictor of therapy outcome as well as the primary agent of change. I invite you to join me in an authentic, collaborative partnership in which we co-create a space in which you can feel safe to explore, identify, and ultimately change the intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics that are producing distress and disturbance in your life. In this process, I will serve as an experienced guide and trusted companion on your journey of self-discovery with the ultimate aim of helping you reclaim authorship of your own life and enhance your capacities for joy, love, creativity, and play.

Every journey starts with a single step – by being here you have taken that first step forward on your path. Sometimes we must re-learn how to think outside of the boxes we've built in life and adapt for the challenges that may come. It can be hard, but I believe you have all the necessary tools to do so with success – and I will help you adapt these tools for all the obstacles you may face along the way. I believe connection is key to success in the therapeutic experience, and I would be honored to create a positive, safe space for connection and success to bloom for you.

I am aware that navigating one's own path can be difficult at times. Sometimes we seem to lose our way, and hopefully I have the flashlight that can help you find your way back. My experience has been in working with adolescents, adults, couples and families. Families are complicated systems as they are made up of individuals with their own personal needs, views and wants. I believe everyone should be treated with dignity and respect.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
