How can you live fully, today, right now?

Supporting you in times of grief, loss and change.

 
 

Welcome, I’m Sandy.

I have been a licensed clinical social worker in California for over 20 years working in hospice and palliative care. I want to help people access tools, skills and perspective to live a fuller, more integrated life right now, no matter your circumstance.

 

Light and beauty emerge from the darkness.

I use an integrated approach to counseling. Our physical, psychological, social and spiritual areas of life affect each other — they are not separate.

Like the lotus flower blooming from the mud, I focus on activating your strengths and helping you form new coping mechanisms to help you bloom through challenging times. Wholeness always exists inside of you even if at times you can’t see it. My role is to help you connect with your own inner light, wisdom, and healing right here and now.

 
 
 

As a licensed therapist, I specialize in helping you activate connection to your own light within, no matter your circumstance.

Here are some things we can work on together:

  • Any kind of transition, including grief and loss, anticipatory grief and intergenerational and ancestral grief

  • Anxiety in all of its various forms

  • Transforming old mental and somatic habits that are no longer serving you

  • Engaging more fully and authentically with life

  • Burnout and resiliency building

  • Improving self-compassion and self-love

 

Are you…

  • Feeling there is something more to this life yet not sure where to start or how to change?

  • Dealing with a serious illness yourself, or caregiving for a loved one who is struggling?

  • Experiencing grief and loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or a job?

  • Coping with intergenerational loss and sadness and wondering how to heal those wounds?

  • Experiencing a challenging life transition and wanting to learn new ways of coping and moving forward?

  • Feeling stuck in patterns or ways of thinking?
