About Anne

I received a Masters of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in 1982. In addition, I received my training as a mental health counselor from St. Joseph's College Counseling Institute (Hartford, CT) and Antioch University (Seattle, WA). For over 25 years, I have worked in hospital, hospice, or therapeutic settings offering support to those coping with health crises, grief and loss, life transitions, and other physical and emotional challenges. I was licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington in 2002 and for eight years coordinated the bereavement services of a large hospice where I worked as a grief specialist, community consultant, and workshop leader.

I am committed to working with you in the uniqueness of your life story and the current challenges you face. Together, we focus on who you are and where you are in your life by exploring these challenges in the context of the values, choices, loves, and losses that are woven into your life. Telling your story is an important step in being open to fresh possibilities. It is through the telling of where you have been and where you are at present that you may be able to make new connections and discover new meanings as you go forward.
