Grief Recovery

I am a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist.  If you found yourself here, it is a high probability that you or someone you love is suffering from a broken heart. Is it due to a death, divorce or another major loss? If so, you might feel sad, distracted, or confused. You are not alone. The Grief Recovery Method has been helping people feel better following a loss for 40 years.  This method began from devastation of personal loss. And, having gone through grief, I know how hard it can be and want to help others who are also grieving.

1:1 This program is for those who prefer to work face to face with a trained and certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist 1-on-1, rather than in a group setting. This 7-meeting format utilizes the same proven materials as the group programs in a more private setting.

Group: The 8 meeting Grief Recovery Method Support Groups offers a safe, evidence-based environment for grievers to take effective and lasting action, no matter the type of loss experienced.

Life Transition

Life transitions are complicated.  They can be planned or unplanned; positive or negative.  They force you to release the familiar and step into something new that is unfamiliar and uncomfortable.  Some examples of life transitions include: high school/college graduation, beginning college, moving, getting married or divorced, or birthing a child. These events can be very challenging and create a sense of excitement alongside anxiety, overwhelm, sadness, or dread.  I help you navigate the many, simultaneous emotions that may arise during this time as well as help identify your next steps in this process. 

High Functioning Professionals

I help high functioning and accomplished individuals break self-defeating patterns and habits that have inhibited their ability to obtain their highest goals and desires. I guide you inward to help identify and understand internal barriers that keep them feeling ‘stuck’ in personal and professional aspects of their lives. I also help identify your ideal of success and how that compares to your current way of being and living. 

Depression & Anxiety

Are you feeling a lack of energy, increased sadness, feelings of dread, or isolation? If you have been and these feelings are just not letting up, you could be experiencing depression. There are many reasons one can become depressed. I help you to identify the possible causes for the difficult feelings and help to implement coping mechanisms and self-care strategies to help you rise above the hopelessness. Through mindfulness and creating a new narrative, we will rebuild your happiness together. 

Anxiety can be debilitating.  It can make you feel all alone and misunderstood.  To reverse this reality, we will explore your life to determine the nature of the anxiety you are experiencing.  We will utilize mindfulness and self-care strategies to decrease the anxiety and enable you to return to a place of peace.

Adults & Adolescent

Adults: As an adult we all deal with uncertainty on many levels.  I will help you gain clarity on your heart’s desire and what it means for you to feel successful.   I will guide you as you explore what is truly important to you in life and help you to reach those goals. 

Adolescents: Adolescence is a difficult transitional period for many.  I will assist your teen in this transition of life to help identify fears that are holding them back, guide them to increased self-esteem and reduced self-doubt.  I will help them to love and trust themselves while working through confusing emotions.  Together we can create a foundation within them to build the life they dream of having.
