I help individuals navigate grief while building sustainable health and resilience. With education in grief coaching, grief education, and health coaching, I guide clients in honoring their losses, managing the various challenges, and rebuilding their lives with practical, compassionate strategies. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me walking my dog, writing, creating, and spending time with family, embodying the same principles of balanced living that support our health through life’s challenges. Let’s connect to explore how I can support your journey toward healing and sustainable health.

I do grief coaching with clients who have experienced loss. I have a special place in my heart for those who have suffered losses, because I know firsthand what it’s like to lose a loved one, having lost my precious 5-year-old daughter (Jackie) to an inoperable brain tumor. I know how extremely helpful a grief coach can be.
If you are struggling with grief, please contact me – I would like you help begin the process of healing! I offer grief coaching and counseling for individuals and in a group, either in person or via Zoom or FaceTime. I also am a Certified Celebrant and perform Celebration of Life Services. You don’t have to do this alone.
