Interests: “Everyone experiences loss. Seldom do we allow ourselves to fully experience loss or it’s impact. When someone dies, we change jobs, or even have a child, there is loss. When we choose to address these losses, past or present, we can begin to heal, and with healing comes unlimited possibility. I work with families/individuals and the impact family dynamics have on their lives; hospice families as they face end-of-life issues; bereaved individuals and groups after the death of a loved one; transitional loss and role adjustment included "empty nest"; corporate downsizing; career counseling; and relationship issues.
I work with individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and groups from a client centered systems perspective. My approach is usually psycho-dymanic but have extensive cognitive experience, if the client and I agree that this approach is appropriate short term cognitive therapy is available.
