Life can be difficult and I feel that I have helped many people through difficult moments and assisted them in strengthening their relationships so that they thrive outside of therapy.

Grief is our natural response to loss. It is not a disorder, nor does typical grief necessitate therapeutic treatment. Grief is a normal human experience that needs to be felt and processed. But sometimes our grief becomes stalled or derailed because healthy grieving has not been modeled or taught. Grief is meant to be an active process, a life skill that can be learned - rather than a passive experience to be endured. I offer professional guidance that helps people struggling with loss to discover where or why their unique grief journey got off track, and find their way back to the path where they can move forward through loss.

"In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.” I truly believe that people are not what happened to them. They are what they choose to become.

Through providing positive and feedbacks, I will assist you to acquire a healthy set of coping skills and gain more insight about your psychology. This insight will eventually “unstuck” you from repeating unhealthy behaviors by breaking old patterns and developing new ones.
