Grief and Loss Counseling in Rancho Mirage, CA.

There are many types of grief. Some from the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or job. Even moving can cause a sense of loss. And everyone grieves in their own time and manner. There is no 'right or wrong way'. Whatever the case may be, I am here to listen and support you . Give me a call and we can talk about it. I am certified in the “Grief and Recovery” Program.

Grief can be a difficulty beast to manage, a beast which can surface at any moment without warning and often comes in waves. When I’ve been grieving I’ve felt like I was in an emotional pong ball. With the aid of tools like EMDR CBT and guided visualizations I can help you to heal and leave the pain, loss, and grief in the past while holding on to the happy memories. Additionally, I can provide tools, coping skills, and other resources to help you manage this particular issue.

I help clients navigate grief and loss by welcoming their deep feelings as a part of the process and navigating them carefully when they become overwhelming. Grief is a growth process like other difficult experiences, and I help clients find the resilience inside themselves to both honor their loss while getting stronger. By honoring the pain of the loss, we can move into a new phase of life that allows for thriving.

Grief and loss comes in many shapes and forms and can take a toll on various aspects of your life. Processing grief and loss takes time and is different for everyone but doesn’t have to be done alone. I will offer support, empathy, and a safe space for you to process your emotions openly. Together we will get through this difficult time in your life. You are not alone.

Are you using alcohol, substances, or addictive behaviors to cope with grief and loss? Although they provide relief in the short term, their long-term effects on your relationships and health can make it even more difficult to cope. Through a compassionate non-judgmental approach, I help clients explore their relationship to grief and loss so that they can overcome addictive coping strategies. If you're looking for another way forward, feel free to reach out and we can set up a free consultation to discuss further.

Grief can feel disorienting and heavy, but healing is possible.

Whether you’re mourning a person, relationship, or life change, I offer a grounded space to move forward with compassion, clarity, and purpose.

Grief and loss can be some of the most challenging experiences in life, and navigating through these emotions requires both compassion and patience.

My approach combines mindfulness, emotional exploration, and practical tools to help clients honor their grief, understand its impact, and eventually find ways to heal. Together, we’ll explore the complexities of your loss, support you in coping with intense emotions, and work toward a renewed sense of peace and meaning as you move forward.
