Grief and loss are a part of the human condition. Grief is typically considered to be brought on by the death of a loved one, but can also be triggered by any significant life-altering loss (such as a divorce or the loss of a job). Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn’t make it easy to deal with. Symptoms of grief may include sadness, loneliness, anger, denial, depression and a myriad of other thoughts and feelings. There is no “normal” amount of time for grief to pass, but if you find that your grief is not improving over time or that it is interfering with your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking professional help. A qualified grief counselor can help you to cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s grief experts today.
I offer a supportive and nonjudgemental environment for clients to get to know themselves on a deeper level through creative expression. In sessions you will use art and other creative processes to explore new ways of problem solving, building self-esteem, processing trauma or grief, managing stress, or working through feelings of depression. Your immediate needs will determine the work we do and I will partner with you to help get you closer to your wellness goals.

My approach to therapy is relational - I help you to uncover your innate strengths and resources and to become more connected and authentic in your relationship to yourself and others. Most clients I work with have trauma in their childhoods, which includes childhood emotional neglect. I also love working with therapists (and other healers) who are looking for their own personal therapy. Taking the first step to reach out to a therapist can feel daunting, and I commend you for your courage.

Patients come to me for many different issues. All have something in common: the desire to improve. Maybe you want to improve your mood, thoughts, behavior, and/or relationships. I can support making these changes. Just like physical therapy, the goal is to support you with interventions so that ideally you would not need treatment anymore. Treatment can be brief, just learning and practicing new skills. However, sometimes our lives become so chaotic we need longer support through the storm.

Part of being human is experiencing grief/loss. In this pandemic, we all experienced it with sheltering in place, social distancing, among deaths from COVID. We can feel grief when we experience a loss of any kind, including the world pre-pandemic to death(s) of loved ones. Grief is a natural yet complicated process; everyone's journey through grief is unique and valid.
