I specialize in helping clients struggling with chronic illness, grief and loss related to losing someone or major life changes, caregiver fatigue, end-of-life issues and related burnout. Having personally experienced all of these things, gives me a true understanding and unique perspective, as well as the ability to work with clients in a meaningful and helpful way. Counseling provides a way for you to heal without the fear of answering unwelcome questions or hearing hurtful advice. I also offer crisis counseling and intensives. Join our Tuesday Grief Group now; affordable 6 week sessions for support and self-care!
I work from a holistic approach, meaning, in our time together, we will address your whole lifestyle and how it contributes to your wellbeing. We will look for things you can implement into your daily life that are healthy, add value, are small and easy to start.
Together we will find ways to better manage the stressors that are weighing on you, talk through the things that are making you sad, and seek ways you can feel physically better and more energetic. We will work together to find other holistic practitioners and medical providers that are the best fit for you to address other issues you need support with.

My experience in mental health began working in an inpatient setting with children and teens, then as a foster care case manager, then a long-time foster parent. I have also worked in a jail setting where I learned an even deeper sense of compassion, empathy, and understanding.

I understand that living with grief, chronic illness and compassion fatigue are extremely difficult and something you live with every day. In our work together, we will begin working on whatever is troubling you the most. Clients set the tone for sessions based on their needs, and I help them through support, guidance and by providing tools they need to take action and feel better.

Class: What Not to Say to Someone Who is Grieving

Hosted by
Richelle Massengale

What do we say when someone we care about is grieving? We feel powerless to help, not knowing what to say to make things better. The thing is, nothing we can say will make grief better, it's what we don't say that will help. This class will help you learn what to say and how to support those who are deeply grieving. You will gain a sense of peace and comfort with the knowledge of both large and small ways you can lend support and strength to those in need.
