Personalized Grief Support, scheduled by you on your timeline

I employ a holistic, integrative, spiritually supportive approach where clients are met with unconditional positive regard, focused listening, and deep empathy. In my trauma-informed and grief-informed practice, clients experience a safe space from which to move forward at their pace. I foster healing and growth experiences that honor and serve each unique grief journey.

In November 2022, I tragically lost my sweet son, Alex, at the age of 33 to suicide. The weight of grief pulled me back into a dark spiral of depression and hopelessness, exacerbated by the social stigma surrounding mental illness-related deaths. I now specialize in supporting bereaved parents, suicide loss survivors, and parents grieving the loss of an adult child (and grandchildren) to estrangement.

Individual and group support is available. Please reach out by phone, email, or text.

Corporate Services

As a seasoned executive, corporate change leader, and certified executive and team coach, I specialize in helping organizations strategically prepare for and compassionately navigate the impacts of change, grief, and loss in the workplace.

Drawing from 25+ years of experience and evidence-based frameworks such as ADKAR, Being First, Kotter, Kübler-Ross, and others, I provide customized services to cultivate conscious and emotionally intelligent leadership to address both employee well-being and organizational success.

Personalized solutions are designed to address your unique situation and setting, and may include individual, team, and/or group coaching, workshops, retreats, and/or leadership development programs.

As a Certified Grief Educator trained through the work of David Kessler, I support individuals navigating loss with compassion, presence, and deep respect for each unique journey. My understanding of grief is that it is not something to fix, but something to witness, honor, and gently integrate over time.

My work is not only grounded in professional training, but also in my own lived experience with grief and loss. Having been the sole caregiver for my mother for over 15 years, I carry a deep understanding of the quiet, often unseen layers of caregiving, anticipatory grief, and the profound importance of self-care. This experience continues to shape the way I hold space—with tenderness, patience, and reverence for both the one who grieves and the one who gives.

I support a wide range of grief experiences beyond death, including the ending of relationships, career transitions, identity shifts, and other significant life changes. I honor all forms of grief and hold space for whatever has brought you here.

As a holistic and spiritual practitioner, I recognize the connection between mind, body, and soul in the healing process. With an international, multicultural background and fluency in English and Turkish, I work with individuals from diverse cultures, faiths, and belief systems.

I also gently support those open to exploring afterlife experiences, offering comfort in the signs and continued connection many feel with loved ones beyond physical presence.

I believe deeply that love is eternal and never lost—and it is within that love that we continue our connection, our healing, meaning of life and our journey forward.

With deep gratitude, I honor David Kessler for his teachings and guidance. It is a privilege to carry this work forward with presence, integrity, and heart.

It is an honor and privilege to be invited to walk along side my clients for this phase of their grief loss journey. I have been a grief loss practitioner for over 20 years.

I work with the newly bereaved as well as those who are further along on their journey where the rumblings of change can be overwhelming.

No matter where you are on your journey, navigating change is the work that grief drops at your door.

I offer small groups, and individual sessions depending on what is desired and recommended. I have a list of workshops on my website and Link Tree that are very informative and helpful. I also offer a free 1/2 Discovery Call where we can explore working together.

I am a grief-educated certified life coach who helps individuals and families that are working through a difficult transition or loss, particularly where diversity is part of the picture. I am available in-person in Nevada County, California, as well as by Zoom.
