“The problem is the problem. The person is not the problem.” (Michael White, 1989) I am a relational therapist, group & mindfulness facilitator and educator with a 27+ year career dedicated to companioning individuals & families standing up to challenges in health, healing, caregiving, grief, loss & bereavement, and other life transitions. Many people need bolstering facing life’s difficult problems - cancer, grief, caregiving, dogging mood states (circular worry, anxiety/panic, depression), "urban loneliness," coming out, special-need parenting, trauma.
