As a trauma-certified individual & family therapist in OR & WA, & a WA state Supervisor, I work with a wide range of issues, & specialize in grief, trauma, & illness (MS & cancer esp.) Whether recent circumstances are challenging, or aspects of the past need to be reconciled & faced, my clients work to process, cope, & reconnect with themselves & others. We can feel stuck, stretched, or hollowed by grief, trauma, or years of stress. Sometimes we need to heal from-or at least learn to carry-pain, from a death close to us, a future we envisioned, a critical diagnosis, or our changing world. Context matters, in therapy and supervision.

I use a mindfulness-based, systemic, somatic approach to address the whole picture & I bring 25 years of work with grief, trauma, & critical illness such as cancer & MS. I've worked as a therapist in community mental health, nonprofits, & as a professor. Together we explore ways to reconnect with yourself, your story, people close to you, & your strength.

These beautiful, unpredictable, messy moments of life shape us, & I've learned that defining who we are through these moments helps us build the life we want. We start with a no-cost phone consult to learn a bit about each other, & both individual & family therapy involves an integrated approach to processing. Supervision is also holistic & pragmatic.

Groups

Midday Grief Processing Group

Hosted by

Kir Rian

Grief can be all consuming and isolating and nonlinear. It does not follow a schedule and is ongoing work–it's a part of us. It is exhausting and takes time to help our body learn how to carry this piece of ourselves. If there was a death in the family and we're parents, we're also managing the grief of our kids. Compounding it, often people near us don't know how to support, and that can make things worse. Groups include processing, support, mindfulness, and nervous system regulating coping strategies.
