Frequently Asked Questions

Customer Question #1

Q: How do I prepare for the passing of a loved one?

A: There are a few things to consider when preparing for the death of a loved one. Are their financial affairs in order and accessible to the person responsible for closing out the estate? Do you know their wishes for a memorial or funeral service? Are you and others emotionally prepared to cope with the loss?

~I guide individuals through a step by step process which is organized and comprehensive. Once a person experiences my programs and methods, they are armed with invaluable tools that provide them with confidence and peace of mind for moving forward.

Customer Question #2

Q: How do I know that I'm experiencing grief?

A: Grief is the result of conflicting feelings caused by the end of, or change in a familiar pattern of behavior. There are 40+ different events that can trigger grief in one's lifetime.

~Grief can be ambiguous, conflicting and complicated. I use an evidence-based program to start the healing process through completing the relationship one has to the core of losses they have experienced.

Customer Question #3

Q: If a number of years has passed since a traumatic event, is it still worth getting help for it?

A: Sometimes people that experience trauma also prolong seeking help. It could be that they have incorporated some short-term energy relieving behaviors to cope with and bury the pain. Time alone will never heal wounds of trauma.

~Trauma affects every part of a person. I am committed to assisting you with complete confidentiality, compassion and concern; without judgement, nor criticism.
