My educational journey led me through California State University of Northridge and California Lutheran University, where I immersed myself in learning. For the majority of my professional life, I found fulfillment in teaching within the public school system. Over time, however, I discovered a deep-seated passion for supporting others through grief work. This transformative path not only enriched me spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically but also inspired me to pursue certifications from esteemed institutions like the Grief Recovery Institute and Peal and Associates in Santa Barbara.
Combining my background in psychology with these certifications, I crafted my own approach to grief work and body-mind modalities, aiming to empower individuals to reach their fullest potential. Sharing this passion, I’ve also taken on the role of training others in this vital work. Every moment spent supporting others on their journey to authenticity fills me with gratitude and a profound sense of privilege. I am eager to accompany you on your quest to discover your true self.
I’m here to help support you to get the most healing and benefit out of your experience. I will offer several options to facilitate your grief work experience.
I have found there are milestones of healing when doing this profound and amazing work:
Grief Therapy is WORK, taking action and commitment to process and heal.
The work needs to be done consistently to build momentum and start the healing process.
Grief is neither linear, or in stages, it is a tangled mass expanding with each change or trauma.
We develop behaviors to mask grief, but never address the grief itself.
Grief is the foundation of addiction.
It takes time, effort and commitment to heal and move beyond grief and fear.
There are tipping points in our life that land us in emotional incompleteness. You can do actions that tip you back into emotional wholeness.
The twelve week process will give you a taste of letting go of past grief and trauma. As well as tools to continue your healing process.
Grief and fear are closely linked and must be untangled.
Grief is a lifelong process and deserves to be acknowledged and healed.
Committing to twelve sessions allows for a deep dive into understanding grief, learning how fear is fueled when grief is not addressed, and creates scaffolding to support the client’s ability to process and heal from grief in the future.
