My personal journey was not one I would choose. My first husband was diagnosed with cancer in September 2004 and died in February 2006. The experience of spousal caregiving and young widowhood, and 10 years as a federal Special Agent eventually led me to change careers to become a counselor.

I love helping individuals and couples build meaning, self-acceptance, and self-worth despite grief, trauma, shame, and problematic behavior and relationship patterns.

While I've had a variety of experiences, the core of my professional background is informed by the work I've done helping people face challenges such as life-threatening illness. I have over twenty years experience in oncology and hospice settings. In doing that work, I learned a great deal about helping people manage very stressful challenging experiences, including finding meaning in those challenges. I also have extensive experience in working with end-of-life and grief counseling.
