TRAUMA has a long-standing impact on one’s development. The mind - body connection helps explain this impact, especially on attachment and intimacy in relationships. Trauma includes childhood sexual abuse, rape, PTSD, emotional abuse, and physical abuse to name a few. I can help you understand and heal from these events.

The DEATH of a loved one is one of life’s most troubling experiences. Counseling after the death of a loved one is essential to healthy reconciliation of the experience into one’s life and creating a new normal.  I offer gentle grief counseling for those who have experienced the death of a parent, spouse, child, or friend.

-----------------------------------------------------

GRIEF comes in many forms and there are some losses that are not recognized by society, such as suicide, miscarriage, SID, abortion, death of an ex-spouse or lover and pet. Grieving these losses are just as important to your future health and wellbeing. I offer the space to mourn these losses and their importance in your life.

-----------------------------------------------------

Non-DEATH RELATED LOSSES also have a profound impact on how we feel and function. Counseling allows you to understand and incorporate these changes in your life with compassion. Such losses may include a relationship ending, a job changing or ending, moving to a different city, divorce, home loss do to fire or economy, health declining, children leaving home, to name a few life changes.

What ever your grief loss needs are, a death loss or life experience loss, you can find meaning and joy again in your life. Life will never be the same, your pain goes deep and seems to fill every facet of your life; this is normal when one is grieving and experiencing a major loss.  You can face your sadness and feelings, one step at a time,  to find new meaning and purpose in your life ~ a new normal.
