Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Does your heart hurt? Have you lost a loved one to death or divorce and your mourning feels unbearable? Grief and loss also comes from relocating, breaking up with a significant other, fired from a job, a broken friendship, a pet dying, abusive childhood, or substance abuse. Grief can feel heavy and numbing. You may feel anxiety, anger, depression and are isolating. Self-medicating through alcohol and drugs is common, too. Negative emotions are balled up and difficult to untangle alone. Do you want to move through the journey of grief into a place where it feels "more normal"? Grief, loss and trauma consists of painful feelings trapped in memory and stored in the body. I use story telling, writing and other art forms to process painful feelings to re-frame and release those feelings. Art allows the participant to move gently in the journey of health and healing. I use a simple down to earth method of communicating with clients. I use an honest common sense approach. Also, I am a licensed clinical social worker who is trained to look at the whole picture, the mental, physical, social/cultural, and spiritual aspects of each individual client.
