Many people look for happiness outside of themselves, but true happiness must come from within...I practice general mental health with individuals, couples and families additionally specializing in grief, trauma and sudden loss. I also have an expertise in palliative counseling with those who are living with or have family members living with chronic, terminal illnesses. My approach is a cognitive behavioral approach; simply defined, the task is to change our thinking so we can change our behaviors (outcomes) in preventing and relieving distress. I am nationally certified in addictions and provide in person and telemedicine.
There is a special connection that one experiences with another when "they have walked in one's shoes". I have unusual insight into loss with my own recovery with grief from the death of my children, cancer and infertility. I have appeared on Dr. Phil, written 2 books on grief and developed a paradigm of grief recently presented at the APA nat'l convention.
I orient towards adaptation and shifting one's power from their events that keep them "stuck" to living "free". It is my hope that I will serve as your partner in offering guidance through grief of what happens when we encounter an unwanted, unexpected reality and to share this concept with you……Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
