Grief, loss, and life changes can be scary, painful and confusing. You are not alone. If you have experienced a death of a loved one, loss of a meaningful relationship, or loss of identity and self and feel as if you can not move on, there is hope. My personal and professional experience with trauma, death, grief, and loss has led me to the sacred space in which I can now support others. You CAN feel hopeful and joyful again through counseling. Together, we can gain peace!
