I believe life experiences are the greatest teacher. We go through many life challenges, difficulties, heartaches, but we should never forget the smiles, laughter, joy that come before or after those challenges. I am more a half glass full kind of person but I am pragmatic. I believe that the hard times can be really hard and if we need to cry, we should cry, be angry, be hurt, allow all the emotions to occur and feel them. The trick is to come out of those emotions with a new perspective so that we can grow and find our true self.

As they say, the only thing permanent in this world is change. Change, like people, comes in different shapes and sizes. It could be as simple as changing clothes, to more complex ones like a break up, death, or coming out. My goal is to help you manage and deal with changes in your life. By providing you with a safe and comfortable environment and my use of various therapeutic techniques, my hope is that you will feel supported, heard, understood, and obtain the necessary coping skills to help you through this journey called life.

Do you feel like you are struggling with grief, grief related trauma or anxiety? Most often we understand grief by the physical death of a person or the grief that comes with someone you know being terminally ill awaiting death. However, grief can be the loss of: a relationship, a career, a pet, a culture, and a hobby/interest. The process or journey of grief affects everyone and expresses differently. I am here to support you in treating grief and identifying solutions to improve your quality of life while honoring your cultural values and needs on your own pace.
