Grief Paths offers expert grief counseling and support services to help individuals navigate the challenging journey of loss. I provide a safe, empathetic space to process emotions, understand the dynamics of loss, find healing, and rediscover meaning.
Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a significant life change, I will guide you through the grief process with compassion and care.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping individuals, families, and groups navigate their grief.
I specialize in traumatic loss and crisis intervention / postvention.
I hold a Masters of Social Work from SUNY Stony Brook and have administered human service programs, including mental health, end-of-life, and suicide prevention and postvention since 1997.
We all experience grief. There is no one pathway through the pain, but one must walk into its depths in order to heal.
No one grieves the same way, the path is not linear, and there is no set timeline for when the light will start to return.
By expressing thoughts and feelings, learning, and building skills, the cadence and intensity of our grief changes.
I will learn about your grief and where you are in it — who or what you lost, what you are feeling, the effects on your daily life, and your support systems.
I will teach you about the dynamics of grief and use talk therapy, writing, art, and other ways to help you process your loss and begin to walk a path toward healing and meaning.
I provide individual, family, and small group grief counseling, and also offer educational services and support to groups such as those who have a common loss, or those working with people who are chronically or terminally ill.
Sessions range from short, introductory meetings to longer, more intensive sessions.
I offer one-on-one, family, and small group sessions to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors about grief and loss in a safe and confidential environment. My clients and I meet virtually using the online platform Zoom, by appointment.
Various techniques, tailored to your needs, will empower you to cope with your loss, work toward emotional recovery, and find meaning in your loss.
I also offer professional training about grief, particularly anticipatory grief and complex loss, and provide education and support to groups of professionals doing this work.
I accept various insurance plans and private payment on a sliding fee scale for individuals.
