Life & Grief Counseling

How My Passion Developed

In my own challenging seasons of life, I have turned to resources such as therapy for support and help in making changes. In turn, I want to pay it forward. I enjoy helping people to improve their relationships and connections with themselves and others, especially building trust. From my own life experiences, I can understand feelings of distance or disconnection. I strive to foster hope in ones healing and change process as it can be hard in the beginning.

Areas of Focus

Many things can cause distance or feelings of discontent. We may explore past relationships and earlier life experiences as they can impact our present relationships. Or we may explore internal conflict and how different parts of ourselves might show up in life and interactions with others. My practice currently focuses on the following areas that can cause disconnect with ourselves and others:

• Grief, loss, and major life transitions

• Anxiety and perfectionism (including scrupulosity)

• Impacts by another’s addiction

How I can Help

I believe in building self awareness as a step towards change and healing. Working towards a place of acceptance with self and others can also lead to natural adjustments in how we view and talk to ourselves and others in our lives. Therapy can be a form of internal strength training. And as you keep practicing and exercising your emotional muscles, you will notice both internal and external changes. It’s a process!
