Serenity, Equanimity, Peace of Mind. Are these qualities sorely missing from your life? You are not alone. Most Westerners experience rushed living, lack of acceptance, anxious and depressed mood - what inevitably amounts to suffering. While pain is a universal experience, with practice suffering can become optional. But lack of skill, low motivation, and general haggardness of life prevent many from consistent self-care which can alleviate suffering. If this is your story, The Serenity Center was opened with you in mind. Reducing suffering to manageable levels is an achievable goal - and all you may need is a skillful guide.

My journey to becoming a therapist is rooted in my personal experiences navigating adversity and loss. This, combined with my time living in diverse cultures, has cultivated in me a profound sense of compassion and allows me to connect with clients on a deeply human level, understanding their unique struggles during vulnerable times. My therapeutic approach is informed by the wisdom of thinkers like Victor Frankl, Irvin Yalom, and Eva Eger, and I integrate mindfulness practices to help clients find grounding and meaning amidst their experiences of grief and end-of-life.

Over the years, I counseled cancer patients and their caregivers, worked in addiction recovery, and provided psychological first aid in crises. I am particularly attuned to the delicate and often overwhelming emotions associated with grief and end-of-life transitions, guiding individuals and families with compassion as they navigate these profound life passages. I believe that each client possesses an innate capacity for healing and growth, even amidst profound sorrow, and I view my role as a compassionate guide, helping individuals uncover and access their inner strength and resilience.

If you are seeking support in navigating the challenges of grief, coping with an impending loss, or adjusting to end-of-life transitions, I offer a deeply compassionate and skillful approach to help you achieve your therapeutic goals and find a path toward healing and peace. I am a strong advocate for my clients and can offer guidance and support during these sensitive times.
