Welcome to Still Point

As a licensed professional counselor, I mostly work with people navigating post–critical incident stress, grief, end-of-life matters, moral injury, depression, and anxiety. 

My work blends,

 clinical skill with genuine human connection, helping clients make sense of overwhelming experiences and reconnect with their own inner steadiness. 

&

supporting individuals in understanding what they’re feeling, why it matters, and how to move toward healing in a way that honors their pace and their story.

My approach is shaped by advanced training in somatic work, mind–body practices, narrative therapy, EMDR, dreamwork, meaning reconstruction, suicide pre‑ and post‑vention, and existential counseling. 

These modalities allow me to meet clients at multiple levels—physiological, emotional, cognitive, and existential—so we can work with both the symptoms and the deeper layers of meaning beneath them.

My therapeutic stance is grounded, relational, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I work from a non‑pathologizing, meaning‑centered perspective that honors your autonomy, your pace, and your lived wisdom. 

Counseling with me is a collaborative process—one where we explore your story, your nervous system, your beliefs, and the deeper layers of meaning that shape how you move through the world.

My stance is gentle but honest, spacious but structured, and always oriented toward supporting your sense of agency and wholeness.

In session, you can expect:

Warm, relational connection — a sense of being met, not analyzed.

Steady, compassionate attention — space to speak freely without judgment or pressure.

Collaborative pacing — we move at a rhythm that feels safe and sustainable for you.

Mind–body awareness — gentle invitations to notice what your body is holding or signaling.

Meaning‑centered exploration — curiosity about how your experiences shape identity, purpose, and direction.

Respect for your autonomy — you choose what we explore, how deep we go, and what feels right.

My goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and empowered, not rushed or overwhelmed.

to offer a place where your story is honored, your pace is respected, and healing unfolds in a way that feels authentic to who you are. 

As a grief coach and death midwife, I support people as they learn to live in a world that has changed. Grief coaching is not therapy—it is a compassionate, forward‑moving partnership that helps you make meaning, find steadiness, and reconnect with who you are becoming after loss. 

As a death midwife, I also walk with individuals and families through the emotional, spiritual, and practical terrain of end‑of‑life experiences, offering calm orientation and grounded companionship during times that can feel overwhelming or uncertain.

I offer a non‑clinical, deeply human space where you can explore your story, honor what has been lost, and gently rebuild the parts of life that feel tender or undone. My approach blends attunement, curiosity, and practical support. 

Together, we clarify what you need, strengthen your inner resources, and create pathways toward living with grief in a way that feels honest, sustainable, and aligned with your values.

Whether you are grieving a person, preparing for an anticipated loss, navigating end‑of‑life decisions, or trying to find your footing after everything has changed, grief coaching and death midwifery support offer companionship and orientation as you move through what comes next.

Grief rituals offer a way to honor what has changed, acknowledge what hurts, and create space for meaning to emerge. I guide individuals, families, organizations, and those who are dying through rituals that bring grounding, clarity, and connection during times of loss, transition, or collective impact.

For individuals, grief rituals create a gentle container to name what you’re carrying, reconnect with your inner resources, and mark the moments that feel too big to hold alone. These rituals help you slow down, honor your story, and find a sense of orientation as you move forward.

For families, rituals offer a shared space to remember, express, and witness one another with compassion. They support families in navigating different grieving styles, strengthening bonds, and creating meaningful ways to honor a loved one or a major life transition.

For organizations, grief rituals help teams acknowledge loss, burnout, critical incidents, or collective strain. These rituals foster psychological safety, restore a sense of community, and support a culture where grief is met with dignity rather than silence. They help workplaces move through difficult moments with clarity, compassion, and shared purpose.

For those who are dying, rituals offer comfort, orientation, and a sense of sacredness during the final stages of life. These practices may include legacy‑building, life‑review, symbolic acts of release, or quiet moments of connection with loved ones. Rituals at the end of life help individuals feel witnessed, supported, and held as they cross a profound threshold. 

Across all settings, grief‑ritual work blends collaboration, cultural sensitivity, and a profound respect for the human need to mark thresholds. 

Rituals do not fix grief—they honor it, give it shape, and help people and communities move through change with steadiness and connection.

 Grief groups that offer connection, understanding, and shared strength for people navigating some of the most complex forms of loss. These groups create a compassionate space where participants can speak openly, feel witnessed, and find community with others who understand experiences that are often isolating or misunderstood.

For those grieving a suicide loss, groups provide a place to explore the layers of shock, guilt, anger, and love that accompany this kind of bereavement. Participants are met with care, honesty, and a community that recognizes the unique contours of suicide grief.

For medically fragile families, groups offer support for the ongoing uncertainty, anticipatory grief, and emotional exhaustion that come with caring for a loved one whose health is fragile or declining. These spaces help families feel less alone and more grounded as they navigate shifting roles and constant unknowns.

For individuals experiencing disenfranchised grief, groups create room for losses that society often overlooks—losses that may not be publicly acknowledged, validated, or understood. Here, every story is honored, and every form of grief is given the dignity it deserves.

For those living with ambiguous loss, groups help participants hold the tension of loving someone who is physically present but psychologically changed, or someone who is physically absent but still deeply felt. These groups offer language, companionship, and gentle structure for navigating a loss that has no clear ending.

 Group work offers connection, meaning‑making, and the reminder that healing is not something we do alone.

Organizations feel grief too—through critical incidents, staff losses, burnout, role changes, and the quiet accumulations of stress that shape a workplace over time. 

My organizational grief consulting helps teams, leaders, and systems respond to these moments with clarity compassion, and skill through, 

Support in building grief‑literate cultures through a combination of group facilitation, policy development, ritual design, and staff education.

Facilitated group spaces where teams can acknowledge loss, process difficult events, and reconnect with one another after periods of strain or disruption. These groups help restore trust, reduce isolation, and strengthen a sense of shared purpose.

 Collaboration with leadership to review and develop policies and protocols that support employees through bereavement, critical incidents, and ongoing emotional impact. This includes guidance on communication practices, return‑to‑work pathways, and compassionate organizational responses.

Designing and leading organizational rituals that honor transitions, acknowledge collective grief, and create meaningful moments of connection. These rituals help teams mark what has happened, recognize what has changed, and move forward with steadiness.

Education and training that equips staff and leaders with the skills to navigate grief, trauma exposure, and emotional fatigue in the workplace. These sessions build confidence, reduce stigma, and foster environments where people feel supported rather than overwhelmed.

Grief consulting helps workplaces respond to loss with dignity, clarity, and care—strengthening both the people and the systems they rely on.

EMDRIA-approved training and consultation for clinicians seeking grounded, ethical, and trauma‑informed skill development.

 Specialized workshops on grief, traumatic loss, and post‑critical incident recovery. 

 First responder wellness trainings. 

LPCA individual and group supervision and consultation.

 My approach to training, supervision, and consultation is grounded in collaboration rather than hierarchy. I don’t see myself as the expert who stands above others. 

These spaces are shared, reflective partnerships where individuals can think deeply, explore openly, and grow in ways that feel aligned with their values and identities.
