Navigating life's most challenging moments requires empathy, support, and a gentle guiding hand. I specialize in aiding individuals coping with grief, significant life transitions, or the complexities of terminal/chronic illness. My aim is to foster a safe and nurturing space where healing, growth, and resilience can flourish. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, particularly those in mid-life and older as they navigate life’s transitions, including adult children leaving/returning to the family home, retirement, downsizing, chronic or life altering illness, and death and non-death losses.

My clients come to me for help with their relationships ...with their 'significant other', their child, their friend or business partner. They come by themself and they come with their 'other'. People come in crisis when their relationship is threatened or to avoid a potential crisis. Sometimes the crisis is the inability to find the right relationship, sometimes it's difficulty maintaining the relationship and sometimes it's difficulty achieving a satisfying connection because of difficulties understanding and communicating effectively. Specific problems cover a wide range: Trust problems,Control battles,Career/family inbalance, personal dysfunctions,teamwork problems and intimacy issues
