I lead grief support groups in Northern California and also work with people one-on-one.

Ten years ago, I suffered the loss of a husband to Alzheimer’s Disease. I was his primary caregiver and have a special affinity with those who suffer the many ambiguous losses accompanying a diagnosis of dementia.

After my husband’s death, I re-assessed my life and my priorities. I left my law career and trained as a spiritual director. For the past eight years, I have had the privilege of accompanying others on their unique spiritual journeys, most often meeting them once a month for an hour. It was my grief that led me to enter spiritual direction and I find that path to making meaning is not uncommon.

I live in California but my clients live all over the country, so I use Zoom.

I offer private individual grief support sessions and/or group sessions (via zoom).  

multiple losses ~ loss of a parent ~ loss of a sibling ~ sudden loss ~ traumatic loss ~ divorce 

For most of my life I felt a calling to encourage and support others in their times of need.

In 2008, I tragically lost 9 close family members on Christmas Eve.   My experience of multiple-family loss, grief, and healing transformed my life in many ways.   It brought me to a place of trusting my inner wisdom and faith and believing that the love that bonded me to my loved ones who passed would actually be the love that would push me forward.

In 2021 I received my Grief Educator Certification from grief expert, David Kessler’s first GE class.   It has been an honor to help and walk with people through their grief and healing journeys.  My goal as a grief educator is to continue to offer the emotional support, resources, and guidance to those in search of encouragement, hope and healing through the bereavement process.
