“When one door closes, another opens”

One doesn’t usually wake up one morning and turn into a completely different person, one requires time, life experiences, training and passion to change direction. And so it has been with me. An early life in the arts, work with youth and families in crises, extensive travel, 27 years in education (and 2 daughters later) and I found myself drawn to an old interest- how to survive loss and find joy and meaning in life.What I can especially offer is a listening ear and an open heart. I will do my best to help you find your own inner resources to move through this terrible time of loss, into one of peace.
