GRIEF CERTIFIED PEER-TO-PEER
How to Find the Right Grief Certified Support
We suggest you start with a phone call. Let them know you found them through grief.com.
Ask them about their style.
Tell them briefly about you.
They may or you may ask to start with an initial meeting. In person is the best way to assess if you are a match.
Make sure you discuss fees, before you begin, so there is clarity.

I am a Certified Grief Educator with a deeply personal understanding of loss. Grief is not something I’ve just studied – it’s something I live with every day after the sudden loss of my son, Ryan and my husband previously. These losses have shaped who I am and how I walk alongside others in grief. I know the feeling of guarding your heart, of being surrounded by people yet feeling unreachable. And I know the courage it takes to let someone in again.
As a grief educator, my goal is not to fix your pain but to hold space for it – to offer guidance, tools, and presence as you navigate your own path. Whether your grief is new, complicated, or long-carried, you are NOT alone. Together, we can explore what healing looks like for you, at your own pace, in your own way.
If you are looking for someone who understands both the science of grief and the soul of it, I’m here for you.
Offering Grief Support with Compassion and Clarity.
– Safe, confidential space to talk
– Guidance without judgement
– Not therapy – just human connection

As a social worker for 25 years, I’ve had a passion to care for those with a terminal illness in their home as well as facility settings. The past 13 years has been directly working with hospice patients as a liaison, social worker and bereavement counselor. I have been blessed to be a part of the end of life journey for many patients; provided the patient and family members with anticipatory grief support, and then the honor of being at bedside as they passed away.
I also have experience working with and supporting patients who choose Our Care Our Choice (OCOC) Medical Aid In Dying (MAID) process; providing the patient and their family members and anticipatory grief support prior to ingestion, and then follow up grief support provided to the family.
