I am passionate about honoring grief around life changes. Some examples are loss of a job, relationship of any kind, moving to a new city, having a child, getting married, or divorced- basically anything that has changed in your life or changed your life. While the change can be positive or negative it brings up letting go of one thing to start a new thing. These changes bring up sadness, grief, and loss. Let’s recognize and honor their gifts.

Greetings, friends! In my work as a therapist, I use a number of strength-based approaches to partner with individuals as they navigate through difficult past experiences and present situations, in an effort to create a future that is fulfilling and meaningful. I hold a firm belief that all individuals possess the wisdom and inner strength to create their own beautiful life story and am beyond honored to be a part of this process. I am continuously amazed by the power of human resiliency and strive to complement this internal power by providing genuine support and insight in my work with clients as they explore this crazy, beautiful thing called life! Namaste.

I am a Counsellor experienced in grief and loss matters. I support people who have been bereaved. I also work with people with many types of loss – grief presents in many forms, including the grief of ending a relationship or marriage, grief of losing a job, grief of losing health, a pet, grief of losing someone to suicide, grief of losing a known way of life. Other forms of grief perhaps not recognized as such include the incremental grief of loss of a loved one with Alzheimer’s (you’ve lost the relationship with the person they were and it is a slow and painful loss), grief of having a family member with an addiction (again, you’ve lost who they were), grief of watching a family member with chronic pain or an acquired brain injury. There are many forms of grief. There is the grief experienced when there is ambiguous loss or disenfranchised grief – perhaps you have partnered with someone for years and your partner’s family do not recognize you so if there is a death you are not included in the funeral (very painful). There is the grief of losing a family member and not ever knowing where they are (eg the Malaysian Airline plane that went down or loss of people at war), loss of fertility or loss with miscarriage or stillbirth. There is the grief of losing someone who disappears into a cult or into a different way of life to the way you’ve known. I may not have covered your particular loss but you may well be grieving even if your particular type of grief is not named.

I can help your mind and body get acquainted again… or introduce them if they haven’t quite met yet. We can talk about breathing, mindfulness, yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), sensorimotor therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and more. I’m currently in the process of getting certified in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), so we can talk about that too. If you’re thinking… what the hell is she talking about… let’s set up that consultation to see if any of these are a good fit for you.
Just so you know a bit about who you’re talking to… I pretty much always wanted to work in this area and have been particularly drawn to understanding (or trying to understand) how all of us humans work. I’ve studied a few things related to humans, and got my Masters in Counseling in 2005 and have been licensed since 2010. I’ve lived in a few different places inside and outside the United States, which gave me some additional good perspectives about people and culture. My current licenses are below – Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) & Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I’ve also got a few certifications and training’s under my belt too (i.e. Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and more)… I will say this list is going to keep growing because I love learning about new tools that you can use to feel good again (or if you never did, to get you feeling good for the first time in your life!).

I provide support to those of us who don’t always fit in and have experienced some rough times. As you know, being human is not easy and it can generate “stuff”. What “stuff” exactly? Well, the stuff I specialize in is grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and burnout. You know what this looks like for you. It’s hard to put on a “happy face” for everyone if you’re feeling tired, judged, and alone… and nothing seems to be helping. It’s time to reach out to someone that specializes in this stuff because if you’re looking here, you’re ready for a change.
So, OK… how do I work on said “stuff”? Talking is important and we’ll definitely be doing a lot of that… but it’s not everything. As you’ve likely felt, memories can get “stuck”. My approach is to help you get your mind and body back on track and in sync. There are a lot of tools (i.e. movement, mindfulness, breathing, eye moment or EMDR, tapping, thought records) that we can talk about together. Ultimately, this approach will be catered to you because nobody is the same.
You already know what it looks like when you don’t have extra support, so make that incredibly brave decision to care for yourself today. You have nothing to lose from a free 15 minute phone consultation, so let’s connect and get things moving in a better direction. What’s important is that you get the help and support you want.
