Specializes in

Grief, Loss, PTSD, and Women's Issues

Great to meet you!

You don’t have to feel alone after someone you love has died. My own experience of loss and trauma led me to specialize in grief using a holistic, trauma-informed approach. I have completed advanced training in Prolonged Grief Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (for trauma). I also serve my community as a hospice and bereavement social worker, and a registered yoga and meditation teacher.

A bit about my approach to therapy

If you have been through a serious loss, you know that there is no easy fix for grief. And time alone does NOT heal all wounds. Talk therapy can help, but integrative grief therapy takes talk therapy to the next level. This specialized type of therapy addresses your unique experience of grief and loss, and how it has affected all aspects of your life: Past, present, future; body, mind, and spirit.

What you can expect from our first session

First, we will look at your past (without dwelling on it!), as well as how things are going for you right now. Your loss has changed your life in real ways! Next, we work together to create a customized framework that will improve your everyday life. Finally, we focus on what you want for your future and practical ways for you to get there.


Pamela's style is
