I
have been practicing individual, couple and family therapy for 20 years in
hospital, agency and private practice settings. Though I was trained to
accompany those who were dying or bereft through my graduate degrees in social
work and theology, it was my own losses of parents and a sister the motivated a
much deeper study. Today I consult with individuals, couples and families
before, during and after experiences of profound loss, through my offices in
West Toronto and Guelph. Please call or visit my website.
