I am a Certified Grief Educator and offer services to widows as well as children who have lost a parent. I can relate to widows as I lost my husband to a massive heart attack on my birthday in 2019. My children lost their father, and I have learned so much through them as well. I am also a licensed Special Education teacher assisting students with not only schooling, but how to overcome hardship. If you are looking for a non-judgmental ear, I am here for you. Please contact me by email or phone for more information.

Evidential Medium
Services Offered
I offer one-to-one grief support for individuals navigating loss and the many ways it can impact daily life, relationships, and identity. My approach is gentle, present, and guided by what you need most in the moment, creating space for honest conversation and reflection as you move through grief.
Sessions are personalized and evolve based on where you are in your journey. Some people come seeking language for what they’re feeling, while others want support making sense of how grief shows up in their body, thoughts, or relationships. The focus is on helping you feel supported, understood, and less alone.
For those who feel drawn to it, there is an option to include an evidential mediumship reading during the first session. This is entirely optional and offered as a way to explore continued connection with a loved one alongside grief support. Others choose to focus solely on grief support, and both approaches are welcomed and respected.
Sessions are offered one-to-one via Zoom.
