support

I am a Certified Grief Educator trained by David Kessler. Alongside formal training and work with diverse communities of loss, I also bring lived experience of grief. I serve as a companion to people navigating loss, supporting them in understanding their grief and exploring finding meaning that honors both their loved ones and themselves.

Grief can come from many kinds of loss—anticipatory grief, death, pet loss, divorce, health changes, miscarriage and infertility, identity shifts, or relationships that end without closure. Some grief is openly recognized and supported; other grief is less visible or acknowledged. All grief is real, and all grief deserves witnessing, regardless of the loss or the timeline.

We live in a culture that is often uncomfortable with grief—one that rushes, avoids, or tries to fix what does not need fixing. What most people need is for their grief to be wholly witnessed by someone who can stay present with what is real, without judgment or urgency. I offer that kind of space.

In our time together, we may speak about your person and your relationship, the circumstances surrounding the loss or anticipated loss, memories and meaningful moments, and what you want to carry forward. We may also explore what is arising emotionally and physically, and what life feels like now, at your pace.

There is no correct way to move through grief. Our work is simply to be present with what is here.
