About My Clients
Hello, my name is Kailey. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor, but do not consider myself the expert on what you need as a counseling client. You are the expert on you! I am a companion and a guide as you navigate life's transitions. I focus on transitions and loss, as I believe that life is full of change! I also help facilitate dialogue surrounding disenfranchised losses such as loss of faith, and chronic illness. My work also focuses on navigating chronic illness.
My Background and Approach
I have background working for Hospice organizations and in bereavement care. I have received specialized training in perinatal loss, suicide grief, complicated grief, and the intersections of spirituality and grief. I consider myself to follow a companioning philosophy of grief-care. I value the silence, uncertainty, and mystery of grief. I do not believe the grief is something to be fixed. It is an experience to be felt! I also consider myself a grief educator teaching workshops and courses on grief, death and dying, and chronic illness. I work with individuals from a wide range of religious and spiritual backgrounds as well as those who identify as atheist and agnostic. I also work with and advocate for members of the LBGTQIA population. Whoever you are-you are welcome here!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Hello! Refuge Counseling, LLC seeks to be a safe place for the LGBTQIA population, and support the Black Livers Matter movement. I have volunteered and am trained in suicide prevention modalities and co-facilitate a community suicide grief support group.
