About
As it is impossible to work in the area of grief and loss without questions emerging about spiritualty, lack of spirituality or no belief ie. anger at God, agnosticism, loss of faith, Bette attended seminary and was Ordained as an Interfaith Minister. She welcomes all walks of faith. She would say that she doesn't have "answers" but is certainly acquainted with the questions!
Because chronic PTSD and issues of grief and loss can occur from childhood losses or abuse, Bette also works with past issues of trauma, neglect, and abandonment
Bette is a sought after speaker on the topics of bereavement, trauma, and loss of meaning after after traumatic events . She has presented throughout the United States, in Bermuda, and inEurope. She is sensitive to her audiences and often carefully utilizes appropriate humor to connect with those attending.
