Grievers

As a therapist specializing in grief, my approach is rooted in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and compassionate bereavement care ensuring that each person's unique journey is met with understanding and compassion.  Together, we can explore the complexities of grief and find a path toward healing.

Below are the descriptions of the therapeutic approaches I use with clients experiencing grief:

Compassionate Bereavement Care is an approach that offers emotional support to individuals who are grieving the loss of a loved one, emphasizing empathy, understanding, and validation throughout the grieving process. This care recognizes that grief is a deeply personal and unique experience, and it focuses on helping individuals process their emotions, find meaning, and cope with the complexities of loss. Compassionate bereavement care provides a safe space for people to express their feelings, while offering guidance on how to manage the emotional, psychological, and physical effects of grief. The goal is to support individuals in navigating their grief with kindness and respect, ultimately helping them move toward healing while honoring their personal journey of loss.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help children, adolescents, and their families cope with the emotional and psychological effects of trauma. It integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive interventions to address distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors resulting from traumatic experiences. TF-CBT helps individuals process traumatic memories in a safe and supportive environment, while also teaching coping skills to manage anxiety, fear, and other emotional responses. The therapy focuses on rebuilding a sense of safety, promoting emotional regulation, and improving self-esteem, with the goal of helping individuals move toward healing and resilience.
