- Are you bereaved, anticipate bereavement, or have experienced a major loss?

- Are you taking care of a loved one who is seriously ill?

- Has your life changed or will change?

- Do you wonder whether there is a future or what it would be like?

- Do you feel that you are no longer like your old self?

- Are you more irritable or angry than you used to be?

- Are you doing, feeling, perceiving things you consider different from before?

- Has your memory suffered or do you have difficulty concentrating?

- Do you have trouble sleeping, feel tired during the day or have noticed a change in appetite?

- Are you concerned about your physical health?

- Are you wondering how to respond to a well-meaning environment which just seems to miss the mark? Which wants you to "move on", overwhelms you with "good advice" and has ill-conceived expectations of how you should feel and act?

OR:Are you looking for support for yourself or a family member while a loved one is seriously ill?

OR: Are you wondering how to help a grieving family member or friend?


Because I was bereaved as a young spouse, have been there and experienced traumatic grief, I can help you gain an understanding of what is happening to you or a friend and how to cope with loss, grief and trauma. And:

I have twenty years of clinical experience with individual and group counseling and psychotherapy as a Licensed Psychologist (MD), Licensed Professional Counselor (VA), and Fellow of Thanatology (Death, Grief and Loss Specialist).
