Grief Certified Peer-to-Peer.

In-Person Support Groups

I am the Coordinator of a Faith & Grief Host Site in Pittsford, NY. We run 2-concurring 7-week small group sessions (daytime & evening) each Fall and Spring. I am the lead facilitator for the evening program. Faith & Grief: A Ministry of Compassion & Connection is out of Dallas, TX. Utilizing many different faith traditions and spiritual practices, Faith & Grief provides a safe environment and tools for individuals as they explore their own faith on their grief healing journey.

As much as I’ve chased numerous “certifications” in thanatology, I consider the lower-case title of lifelong griever and my own losses to be the most important credential in my work as a Grief Tender.

I’m wary of so much of what passes for certifications, be that the coaching industry, where a weekend workshop somehow suffices for coaching expertise, or the old-school bereavement model, where grief has been pathologized and understood to be some one-size-fits-all equation. As Jan Richardson reminds us, “grief is particular.”

My approach to grief’s particularity is both consultative and creative. I lean in listening to your story and set an altar and a chair for your grief to make itself at home. I equip you with essentials for your grief backpack so that no matter where you find yourself on your journey, you’ll feel better prepared to meet the challenges. And together, be that individually and/or in community with other grievers, we map a way forward, so you feel seen, heard, and hallowed in your grief.

Yes! Your loved ones are still here and they want to be in contact with you!

As an evidential medium, I connect to the spirit world to bring through messages from your loved ones to you. As a Certified Grief Educator, am trained in trauma-informed practices to be with those who have suffered a loss. Because I have lost my husband, other family members, pets and friends, I am able to bring empathy and compassion to each reading.

For those who have suffered the loss of a loved one but don’t feel ready yet to commit to a mediumship reading, I also offer peer-to-peer support.

Please visit my website to learn more about my story and offerings. I look forward to meeting you!

I have been navigating grief since 2015 after the loss of my 33-year-old son and only child.  As a Grief Educator and HOPE Mentor I want to commend you for being here.  I am honored to offer you gentle grief support by providing a safe place to share your heartache, questions, or concerns.  Through a parent-to-parent connection we will build together, I’ll walk by your side to help you integrate the loss into your life and move forward honoring your precious loved one.
