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.

You work so hard at acting “as if”—as if you’ve got it all together, as if it’s all under control, as if your losses are no big deal. You wonder why you feel exhausted, angry, numb, constantly worried, and too often sad. Painful memories pop up when you least expect them, and you try to ignore them—but sometimes you can’t. You’ve learned to hide how inadequate and hopeless you feel in trying to cope. And you wonder, what am I doing here? What is this all for? Why all this suffering?

Do you feel stuck - and want to get unstuck but are not sure of what steps to take? I am experienced in helping adults decrease the impact of stress, relationships, communication, depression, anxiety, and/or trauma. I also help people who are living with Tourette Syndrome and other neurodiverse conditions (as well as their families) as well as adults who have a family member who is living with chronic conditions such as mania and/or psychosis.

Maybe you noticed -- Nobody handed you a how-to manual how to do this thing called life? My approach to supporting others is to help bring your sacred individuality into view so we can both see the ways life sent you prepared to be happy and to make a difference. Then, usually in informal ways, we work to customize your how to live manual to build on these strengths.
