Grief Help Psychotherapist

Grief is a complex response to any kind of loss in your life.

People are mostly aware of the emotional response to loss, but it also has physical, mental, behavioural and social aspects. The death of a loved one, be they friend, family, or any other kind of loss is a common part of the human experience.

Losses can also include loss of a job, loved pets, your status, your sense of safety and order, your possessions, as well as the loss of the people nearest to you.

Although the healing process is a personal one you do not need to make the journey alone.

Therapy can be a way to help in this process. In a climate of safety and trust you can be heard without being judged.

You can learn to listen to your deeper self, discover what is true for you and develop and practice the means to effectively communicate with those you care about. You can resolve long-held conflicts and find a way to joyfully celebrate those who have passed on.

I have been a Menlo Park Psychotherapist in private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist for 21 years and work with couples, families and individuals. In addition to therapy, you may also be interested in the Couples Communication and Overcoming Depression courses I teach at Kaiser Permanente in Redwood City. Appointments I am happy to discuss with you if therapy might help you and if I am the right match for what you want. Schedule an appointment by calling (650) 321-2588, or send me an E-mail. The first appointment is risk-free. If you decide to work with me then this initial session is considered our first and I will charge you my regular fee.
