Grief Therapists in Greensboro, NC

Sometimes difficult life circumstances are too much to bear without help. Past trauma can come flooding back and keep you stuck in painful memories that include fear, anxiety, depression and grief . Chronic illness such as dementia or cancer can turn the lives of family members upside down, in an attempt to meet care needs. As you attempt to focus on career and family, you can sometimes find yourself blocked from achieving long-held goals and dreams. My 7 decades of life experience, along with specialized psychological training, give me a practical perspective to help you navigate your difficult life circumstances.

You may not can control what's happening, but you can control how you heal from it. Everything that was meant to destroy you has actually, built you. A strong foundation is key. How we choose to allow life experiences to build us is up to ourselves. It's time to grow. We can no longer allow life to keep you stuck. Allow yourself to weed out the garden and plant a beautiful, healthy lifestyle that allows you to blossom. I believe that we are called to have life full of abundance, life, peace, and joy!

Life’s events shape us throughout our development. They provide us with our highest highs and lowest lows. Therapy can help us move through those low moments, so we do not become stuck making every new moment feel as though we are experiencing it through quicksand.
