With the demographic shift in aging and improvements in healthcare, society should consider an alternative approach to Elderhood. This phase in one’s lifetime, with some forethought, can result in a meaningful, fulfilling quality of life and a positive psychological well-being. It is time that we start to have a discussion on helping individuals find more meaning in their lives as they age and not limiting our focus to the concrete issues of room, board, health and care. Just as we tend to the betterment and maintenance of our health, so too we should nourish our soul, so that one's quality of life and perceptions of self.

Trauma can create lots of problems, from individual issues like anxiety and depression, to relationship issues like constant fighting, lack of intimacy, even infidelity. If you don't resolve the underlying core issues, these problems can last for years, and oftentimes, traditional talk therapy alone isn't enough to make lasting progress. The good news is, treatment has taken huge leaps forward in the last few decades, and relief is closer than you think. I work with individuals and couples to address these underlying trauma-based issues, so that you can have a healthier, happier life at home, at work, and in all your relationships.

If something/someone is causing you distress and it is interfering with your quality-of-life in any way, it may be beneficial to meet with a therapist. Meeting with a neutral person outside of your inner circle, someone who has an understanding of what components make up human behavior/mental health conditions and who is able to listen without judgement, may assist an individual in discovering viable solutions to a greater sense of self as well as in accomplishing desired goals that will bring improvement to our life.

As a former spiritual hospice counselor, I have gained extensive background in grief and loss therapy and end-of-life issues that are often manifested through family dynamics.

I am committed to helping children, adolescents and adults as they navigate challenges, particularly those involving transition and acceptance. Whether you are struggling with general anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation resulting from the pandemic or adjusting to a difficult life change, I will work with you to focus on acceptance and build toward a new and empowered life perspective.

This premise is crucial as one navigates life's relationships of spirituality, family, vocation, and leisure.

The purpose, or the aim, is to create a time and a space which is entirely yours, week on week.
