I work with families, couples, and individuals dealing with anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma.
You feel stuck and ready for a change. Maybe you’re tired of feeling stressed and anxious. Perhaps your loved ones have noticed your panic, irritability, or how you talk badly about yourself. You might be having a tough time concentrating or enjoying activities like you used to. Maybe you've been called a "people pleaser" and know you should stand up for yourself, but you don’t know how. And maybe, you’re terrified of rocking the boat. You're stuck in a cycle of unhelpful and unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. The things that normally take your mind off aren't working anymore. You're ready to break free and make a change.

Losing someone you love is one of the most life-altering experiences a person can go through. Everyone grieves differently, on their own time and in their own way. Sharing your story and having someone to be in that space with you, listening without judgment, and giving coping tools is necessary in learning to live with loss and finding hope for your future. I provide a safe place for you on this painful journey, to remind you that you are not alone, and help you find your purpose after loss.

My personal experience with loss has allowed me to understand a side of grief that is difficult for others to see.
Have you been wondering where your hope has gone to? Life can be turned upside down in a matter of moments and you look in the mirror and don't know who you are anymore. You feel broken and that is okay. My hope is to help you to see that feeling broken is okay and you will not feel shattered forever. I believe a shift in your thought pattern has to take place in order for change to happen. I join empathy and understanding with Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral therapy to help you on that journey.

Grief never looks the same for any two people, and grief support should and will be tailed to your individual needs because grief is not a ‘by-the-book’ process.
Hi, I'm Nici, and I'm glad you are here. I started Crown of Hope Counseling after six years of experience as a chaplain at a trauma level one hospital, feeling utter heartbreak at never knowing how the grieving individuals I served were coping after the immediate grief season. Grief extends far beyond the few days after loss, and I am passionate about walking with you on the journey to healing and hope. I believe in wholeheartedly continuing the legacy of the ones who have passed. Their death is not a period, but a comma— A story that continues to unfold with an abundance of love.

I treat anxiety, trauma, and grief, with a focus on attachment.
Is your past dictating your future? Do you find yourself repeating old patterns that keep you feeling stuck, preventing you from moving forward? Maybe you set impossible standards that lead to constant disappointment and self-judgment, people-please to avoid conflict, seek answers through worry and attempts at control, leaving you feeling unfulfilled and drained. How you treat and speak to yourself matters. Many of us struggle with an overly critical, judgmental, unforgiving internal dialogue but have difficulty knowing how to change it. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone.

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.
