My culturally sensitive approach, rooted in Filipino heritage, guides expertise in trauma, grief, relationships, and emotional well-being.
Navigating life's challenges can be a profound journey, marked by both joys and sorrows that may weigh heavily on your shoulders. It's okay to feel adrift, bewildered, hesitant, exhausted, or even isolated. Your feelings are valid and it creates your own unique experience of life, so much so that it might seem like no one can truly understand. In our collaborative journey, I aim to cultivate a haven where authenticity is not only encouraged, but celebrated. I am committed to accompanying you through every stage of your healing expedition, helping you construct a life rich with meaning and worth cherishing.

My experience in grief and bereavement support includes 10+ years of peer-based support and four years’ experience working within a residential palliative care setting.
Transition, change, and loss are all a part of life. These moments can leave us feeling isolated and disconnected. Grief is a natural response to loss, yet can feel anything but natural to those who are grieving. My approach provides space for every type of grief, including losses of not-so-loved ones and non- death losses such as job losses, end of relationships, and life transitions. The grieving process can make us feel incredibly vulnerable, and this space is designed to be a sanctuary for those to be with their grief without judgement.

I have experience supporting folks through grief and loss, addiction, gender transition, relationship issues, and vicarious trauma.
In your sessions, we will explore what you bring with curiosity and openness. Whether you are struggling in your relationships, experiencing loss or a big life change, or feeling overwhelmed and stressed, together we can explore what's happening, consider what makes sense for you, and make space to hold the feelings that are surfacing. Life is full of situations that can be difficult to navigate alone. Together, we can create a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand who you are and how you want to be in the world so that you can live a more connected and fulfilled life.

My understanding and ways of helping with experiences of relational wounds and “broken heart”, emotional “burnout” and overwhelm, grief and loss, uncertainty and fear, despair and loneliness are deeply informed by attachment-based, emotion-focused, somatic-oriented, psychodynamic, trauma-focused, neurobiology informed approaches in therapy.
Sometimes we are looking for change, figuring out our next step, or getting stuck and not living our lives fully. There could be moments of deep emotional pain and struggle when we feel alone and vulnerable, facing isolation, grief, loss or insecurities in important relationships. Not always we see clearly how to tackle those and we want to have someone to check with, be heard and seen, or get ideas for new directions. Learning to face inevitable life challenges, upsets, and crises of existence with confidence is what therapy is all about.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’m so sorry that you’re looking for a grief therapist, and have a lot of respect for your courage.

I am a board-certified thanatologist who has studied grief from embodied, academic, cultural, and psychotherapeutic perspectives. I’ve worked with grief across various sectors— in hospitals and hospices, in community deathcare, as an apprentice farmer and Bruce Trail captain amidst an ongoing climate crisis, and on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic.

I work with people experiencing the struggles of being human in our modern world. People who know anxiety and alienation, and those grappling with grief of all kinds.

Are you having trouble navigating your way through the loss of a loved one, a challenging relationship, or simply struggling to find meaning in your life? Many of us are knocked backwards by negative events that seem to unearth past hurts and make navigating our present and future more difficult. There are times when we need support and encouragement from outside of ourselves to help us navigate this inner world and push ourselves forward in our lives.
