Philosophy:
As a licensed marriage and family therapist with extra certification in thanatology (understanding the impact of death and dying) and 8 years of hospice bereavement counseling, I have deep trust in the power of the human spirit. My approach is to listen fully, apply my life experience and excellent education, and guide clients to illuminating cultural context, multigenerational influences and unchallenged assumptions that can cause unnecessary pain.
