Grief and loss can have a profound impact on our lives, whether it be the death of a beloved person or animal companion, the loss of love or friendship, the end of a job, or even changes in function and abilities that can come with aging or illness. All of these changes and transitions are painful, and each one deserves attention and support, from self and others. My goal is to help people through this process as gracefully as possible, validating the experience and nurturing learning and growth as a result. I approach this from a variety of perspectives; spiritual, cultural, emotional, and physical--all these aspects of our lives are affected by our losses, and each needs to be addressed for a healthy transition back to joy.
