Grief is not something I learned from a book - it is something I have lived.

From 2008 through December of 2024, I was the primary caregiver for my parents. For nearly 25 years, my father lived with Parkinson’s disease and prostate cancer. I walked alongside him through the long arc of illness, decline and eventual loss when he died in 2020.

Before my father passed, my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. In 2018, she moved into our home, where my husband and I cared for her together. Loving someone with Alzheimer’s teaches you a unique kind of grief - one that arrives in layers, long before death. My mother died on December 26, 2024.

These years shaped me profoundly. They taught me that grief is not a single moment - it is a journey that changes us, stretches us, and often leaves us wondering who we are now.

Today, I bring both professional training and lived compassion to the people I serve.

I am a Certified Life Coach with a Bachelor of Science in Human Services, and I currently serve as a Spiritual Counselor and Bereavement Coordinator for a hospice organization. In my work, I support individuals and families through anticipatory grief, loss, and the complex emotional landscape that follows.

As a Grief Life Coach, I offer a space where your grief is not rushed, minimized, or compared. I don’t believe in “getting over” loss. I believe in learning how to carry it - while slowly finding your footing again.

Whether your grief is fresh or years old…

Whether your loss was sudden or long anticipated…

Whether you feel numb, angry, exhausted, or lost…

You are welcome here.

My role is not to fix your pain, but to walk beside you as you make sense of it - helping you reconnect with yourself, your life, and the meaning that can still exist after loss.

You don’t have to walk this road alone.
