Like many people, I have faced significant loss.These personal experiences ignited a profound exploration into the nature of grief and transformative aspects. I am a professor at Lewis & Clark College where I teach on death, loss, and psycho-spiritual development. I hold a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology. As a death and grief educator and therapist, I am passionate about expanding the ways in which we engage in conversation around death and dying, particularly through visual narratives. I’m the author of Choosing Light: Transforming Grief through the Practice of Mindful Photography and Self-Reflection and esteemed doctoral research, Mindful Photography and its Implications in End-of-life Caregiving: An Art-based Phenomenology.
