Areas of Expertise
Post Traumatic Stress
Post traumatic symptoms can develop in some people after experiencing a life threatening, critical, or dangerous event.
Compassion Fatigue
The work of helping requires professionals to open their hearts and minds to their clients and patients – unfortunately, this very process of empathy is what makes helpers vulnerable to being profoundly affected and even possibly damaged by their work.
Grief & Loss
Loss is an inevitable part of life, and grief is a natural part of the healing process. The reasons for grief are many, such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of health, or the letting go of a long-held dream. Dealing with a significant loss can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life.
Depression & Anxiety
Depression and anxiety are different conditions, but they commonly occur together. They also have similar treatments. Feeling down or having the blues now and then is normal. And everyone feels anxious from time to time — it's a normal response to stressful situations. But severe or ongoing feelings of depression and anxiety can be a sign of an underlying mental health disorder.
Cross Cultural Issues
Understanding and adjusting to a new culture can be challenging. Whether you are now living in a new culture in an adopted country, or are bridging cultural gaps in your interpersonal relationships, including friendships, romantic, or professional relationships, it can be difficult to navigate unfamiliar cultural boundaries, or to introduce someone new to your culture.
