Hello and welcome. My name is Lola, thank you for visiting my site. In 2012 my doctor informed me that I would not be able to have children. I was in denial and angry. In 2014 I had a hysterectomy. I was furious, heartbroken, mad at God, and my attitude was negatively impacting my quality of life. An acquaintance told me to get counseling. In 2018 I met with our agency Chaplain who exposed me to the Grief Recovery Method (GRM). I planned to complete the pain related to infertility; however I completed the painful memories of childhood rejection.
In November 2021 I became a Certified GRM Specialist. In April 2022 I obtained an Advanced Certification to provide virtual GRM sessions. I am offering 7 one on one sessions (in person or online) and 8 group sessions (in person).
I have been a licensed social worker for 21 years. My areas of expertise include: child welfare, residential and out-patient chemical dependency counseling and education; foster care, reunification, and adoptions services; adult, adolescent, and family mental health counselor, medical and hospice and social work, behavioral health hospital social worker, grief recovery, trauma informed care, faith-based and spiritual counseling.
Personal statement:
I desire to assist people to live an abundant life by gaining skills to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to empower people to overcome cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and social challenges by increasing their coping, stress management, and conflict resolution skills.

I am honored to use my professional and personal experiences to provide personalized techniques to assist people to heal from the emotional scars of grief, guilt, shame, rejection, and remorse to achieve their personal, professional, social, and family goals.

It does not matter if you have had a rocky start, valley experiences, and some rough patches; you can finish well.
