As a Certified Grief Educator trained by David Kessler, I provide peer-to-peer grief support and grief coaching that honors the complexity of loss with compassion, presence, and care. My work is rooted in the belief that grief is not a problem to be solved, but a journey to be witnessed.

I offer non-clinical grief support for those navigating personal loss, including the unique and often overlooked grief experienced after the death of a companion animal (pet). I also hold space for culturally responsive grief exploration, honoring how identity, culture, and lived experience shape the way we grieve.

Services include one-on-one grief support sessions, pet loss support, journaling and writing guidance, and memory-making or ritual planning. I also offer grief education workshops for community groups and organizations.

In addition to peer support, I provide collaborative services for researchers, educators, and nonprofits. These include grief-related curriculum consultation, research support (especially in human-animal bond and cultural grief topics), guest speaking, and academic writing or editing partnerships.

If you’re seeking a supportive companion on your grief journey or a collaborator in grief-centered research or education, I welcome the opportunity to connect.

Services include:

• 1:1 grief support sessions (general & pet loss)

• Culturally-informed grief reflection

• Grief journaling & writing prompts

• Memory-making & ritual guidance

• Grief education workshops

• Research & curriculum consultation (grief, identity, human-animal bond)

• Academic writing/editing (grief-related topics)

• Guest speaking & collaborative projects

Supportive. Compassionate. Culture-aware.
Let’s connect—whether you’re navigating grief or working to understand it.
