Life's Seasons Include Change
Sitting with an individual or couple, listening and engaging about life’s challenges, is how I spend a lot of my time. I’m a Social Work Therapist, I am privileged to provide this service, and we’re in it together.
When this begins to happen in the sessions, and them in your daily life, you begin to feel better, and function with more acceptance, trust, and confidence.
You are essentially acknowledging, something is not working in your life and you would like to take responsibility, commit to an honest effort towards functioning in a more balanced way and feeling healthier all around.
Together, we figure out in what direction to move, what issues to explore, and what goals are sensible and realistic. The conversations we have build a relationship based in trust, confidence, and respect. Our sessions are a safe place to face and explore many things, without being judged. You are definitely worth it!
Managing Grief and Loss
-
Loss is one of the most universal and disruptive experiences. Grief is one of the most challenging human emotional experiences. Despite how common grief is, our understanding of it remains limited, yet we know without any uncertainty, our sense of normalcy is lost. Loss is one of our human experiences that shares a lot of space with grief.
-
Grief is a very normal response to loss of life, loss of opportunity, loss of a relationship, loss of pregnancy, and is usually felt during or after any traumatic event. It is also well known that grief can be experienced when drastic changes to daily routines that usually bring us comfort and a feeling of stability are altered or lost.
-
The good news is, you do not need to handle this alone. Entering a therapeutic relationship with a mental health professional is a sensible and productive way to find support and healing.
