I work with those from all walks of life experiencing loss, intense emotions, family estrangement, and trauma.

I provide a culturally competent systemic approach, focusing on the healing of the interactions and relationships between the people that impact us the most. My goal is to help you bridge the gap between who you are and who you would like to be. I use a directive style, gently challenging you to think outside the limits of your comfort zone. I will support you through your journey towards growth, where you can discover hope, healing, and harmony. You can find emotional balance and acceptance, as you rebuild trust, and learn to forgive. My passion is helping you to find the necessary tools to build the life you want, while detaching with love, from the life that no longer serves you.
