I’ve known about the Center for some time now and was honored when asked to join the Board. Having been a therapist in active practice for over 40 years it’s no surprise to me how important the Center is to so many folks. Dealing with grief is a crucial part of living – we have to “keep up with our evolutions”.

My role on the Board has to do with being interested in the day to day clinical aspects of Center operations; what programs are we offering, what types of clients classically seek us out, are our clients effective at getting on the road to their own healing with our guidance and support?

Many in our community know about the Center and speak of it positively, and my goal as a Board member is to keep it that way. Excellence in what we do is of primary importance to me and the Center is fortunate to have created a team which routinely delivers that high level of quality. I’m glad to be doing my part to keep that happening.

One thing I’d want someone to know if they were considering the Center’s services is how professional, well-trained, responsive and personal all the staff are.

My hopes for folks coming to the Center are that grieving their loved ones will be easier and have a certain touch of caring humanity that will make a tough journey more bearable.

My hopes for the Center are that it continues to grow slowly and deeply, getting better and better at meeting people where they are in their grief process. Hopefully the Center will be an important fixture in folk’s lives a half-century from now.

Describing the Center…loving, caring, present, fearless, able, smart, humble.
