Hello. It is very nice to “meet” you. I am Dee and live in Zionsville, IN and am a still-practicing physician, who mindfully enjoys a balance between a meaningful career, family time as well as selfcare. I am a certified coach as well as a trained mindfulness practitioner. As a clinician, I practice both internal medicine (in the hospital setting) as well as provide end of life care and guidance as a Hospice and palliative care physician to patients who wish to die at home, with well over a decade’s experience of walking alongside countless patients, families, and teams along that final journey.

My very first experience with grief and loss occurred in childhood, with the untimely death of my father, in what could be described today as a ‘bad death’. It has shaped who I am and what I do. Death and dying, grief and loss has become a life’s work, and I found myself drawn to the Grief Recovery Method, not only to gain a deeper emotional understanding and healing myself, but with that, to continue along the journey to doing my part to help reduce human suffering, one being at a time. While grief may seem to be heaviest in loss of life, the unresolved stress and grief from so many other losses can weigh heavy on every one of us in ways we may not even have acknowledged to ourselves yet.

Along my clinical journey, both in and outside the hospital and my end-of-life care, I have found that layering the practices of mindfulness, with the solid principles rendered by the grief recovery method around misconceptions, old maladaptive coping habits and new actions steps along the road to emotional recovery, brings everything full circle.

I strive to help struggling individuals with the stressors of life, associated with overwhelming change, loss and grief – in every lane that I walk, and each lane you may find yourself, in this moment. And by being more present, with new tools and coping views, we can improve your emotional wellbeing, on your way to living your most joyful and balanced life.

I provide both one-on-one Grief Recovery Method Programs to individuals and groups, online virtually, as an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist. You can reach me by email at [email protected]
