I help older persons and their family caregivers to navigate the aging journey and care systems, so that you may experience inner peace and embrace this turbulent voyage with hope and meaning.
Do you find that your aging parent is very difficult to care for? Have you noticed your emotions being easily triggered by their actions or comments? Are you having difficult conversations with your family about their care? Taking care of an aging parent can be very emotionally draining but it can also be an opportunity for inner healing, reconciliation, and growth.

I have over 30 years of experience working individually and in groups, with adults, children and teens, frail- and well- elderly, neurodivergent individuals, and workplace injuries.
In life we can feel stuck, alone, overwhelmed, confused, misunderstood, unprepared….maybe at a crossroads. I believe that we all have the answers for ourselves within our Selves, and that sometimes we need help to bring clarity, peace, acceptance, understanding. It is important to be SEEN and HEARD. As an avid lifelong learner working for over 20 years in long-term care, disabilities, community services and psychotherapy, I am drawn to supporting adults and families experiencing neurodivergence challenges, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, medical trauma or chronic trauma, grief, and those facing significant life transitions.
