"We do not quit playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we quit playing."
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes


Witnessing and companioning others along their life journey is my approach to helping others. My clients range from adolescents to those nearing end-of-life. Regardless of age, we are each trying to find the resilience within us to address the changes in life. The one constant in life is change. Loss touches us all.

Working in the field of trauma, grief and loss has taught me about living life. Loss of all kinds gives us an invitation to understand life differently as we are faced with changes poised to challenge the very meaning of what we knew life to be.



My professional roles include: Clinical Coordinator with SandCastles Grief Support Program, a division of Hospices of Henry Ford Health System, bereavement aftercare counselor for the Pixley Funeral Home in Rochester as well as doing clinical work in a private practice for 7 years. My knowledge includes almost 20 years of working with group experiences and experiential therapies in a variety of clinical settings. I have presented locally and nationally on grief and loss. My continued education involves life’s lessons offered each day I choose to be present to the moment. Nature and God’s universe are my guides. I continue to be reminded of the magnificent presence of God in everything and every moment I put my faith in Him as He companions with me and witnesses my life story.
