As an Online Capabilites Trained Grief Recovery Method Specialist and a highly experienced Trauma-Informed educator and Clinical Counsellor, I serve Vancouver, Canada and work with many clients worldwide using video conferencing.
My grief story began early. At age 7, I experienced the devastating death of my mother and subsequent life in a family torn by incomplete grief. Decades later, my heart filled with doubt, I was introduced to GRM. “Can it be possible to take specific actions that help us in such pain?”
Now I shout a resounding YES! I am forever grateful to the evidence based (2019) Grief Recovery Method for both helping me personally AND teaching me to effectively walk with empathy beside grievers, teaching and enabling them to become complete with their unprocessed emotions and return to a meaningful life.
My early experiences led me to my special interest in helping those who have lost a parent though death or through life-altering or life-threatening physical/mental illness.
HELPING CHILDREN WTH LOSS: If your children have experienced loss, we'll use the ground-breaking workbook When Children Grieve to help YOU, help THEM. It is possible for families and teens to experience the power and possibility of healing their broken hearts.
HELPING YOU WITH LOSS: Whether you are vaguely dissatisfied or struggling to even make it through a day, I can help YOU with losses of all kinds, whether recent or in your distant past
