Therapist specializing in migration and life transitions

Whether you're experiencing the emotional toll of migration or any other significant life change , both my therapeutic approach and research insights are here to guide you toward understanding.

Ambiguous loss

Finding clarity and comfort through change

Ambiguous loss is a complex grief that occurs when a loved one is present in body but absent in mind, or when they are with you in thought but not in presence. Learn how our compassionate therapy can help you through these difficult times.

Mental absence

Present in body but absent in mind

This term describes situations where a loved one is physically present but mentally distant, often due to conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. It captures the emotional challenge of connecting with someone who is there in person but not fully engaged or aware.

Physical absence

With you in thought but not in presence

This term refers to the emotional experience of being separated from a loved one who is either geographically distant due to migration or has passed away. It highlights the difficulty of maintaining emotional bonds when the person is not physically present.
