I specialize in grief — anticipated, sudden, complicated, and the kind that does not have a name. I draw on existential therapy and meaning-making frameworks. I believe grief is not a problem to be solved but an experience to be moved through.

    The most honest account of grief I have ever read. I recommend this to clients who feel their grief is too intense or too strange.

    The foundation of meaning-centered therapy. Frankl's account of finding meaning in suffering is unlike anything else.

    A film about anticipatory grief and the contradictions of loving someone who is dying. I recommend it cautiously, when a client is ready.
