Grief counseling supports individuals through the range of emotions, challenges and heartache associated with grief and loss.  

 While grief is an inevitable part of the human experience, it is not meant to be navigated alone.   As a grief counselor, I provide structured guidance and empathetic support through the grieving process.  I empower clients to embrace their grief and ultimately find transformation, healing, growth, and renewed hope in their life. 

The Grief Recovery Method®  is just that – a method – a step by step process – an “action program” - for unlocking and respecting the emotional experience of our grief – both the immediate or presenting grief issues – and those that may have been holding us captive for years. 

Often, the most recent or presenting loss is actually made more difficult by related experiences from our past which were not recognized or addressed at the time – adding weight to that resulting from the current loss.
 

This evidence-based program involves reading and writing assignments as outlined in “The Grief Recovery Handbook, the Action Program for Moving Beyond Death, Divorce and Other Losses.” 

The Grief Recovery Method® has been shared for over 40 years, on six of seven continents, with the book having been translated into over 20 languages over those years.  It is facilitated by a Grief Recovery Specialist, certified by the Grief Recovery Institute. It is a time-limited program – with a set number of sessions.
 

 Anchored Horizons Companion Care services provide in-home social visits and non-medical, practical support to aging adults who are living alone, disabled or convalescing.  

Some adults can become less socially and physically active over time for a variety of reasons, including an illness, an injury, aspects of aging or due to the absence of a spouse or loved one.  Loneliness, grief, boredom and isolation may ultimately result and effect an individual's overall quality of life. 

Companion Care focuses on providing social and emotional connections and companionship, as well as assistance with household management. This is not a caregiver service and is not intended to provide assistance with hands-on  personal care or other medical or healthcare needs.
