Grief comes to us in many different ways; death , divorce, loss of a job, loss of property from a natural disaster, etc. Grief work is never easy, it can be scary and difficult at times to navigate. Therapy can be beneficial in beginning the grieving process with support from a skilled professional to support you.

I believe that human beings have an inherent longing and need for wholeness and balance, which is our natural state of being. However, we sometimes encounter damaging or traumatic events or long term stress that interrupt this natural state. When we are imbalanced, we develop psychological and/or physical symptoms, and we begin to use ineffective coping mechanisms. The good news is that with the right tools, these struggles can be used as a path back to the wholeness we seek. Having worked with clients for over twenty years, I know firsthand the power of using our difficulties to point the way towards healing.
