Welcome

I provide peer-to-peer grief support for individuals navigating life after loss, with a special focus on those whose caregiving journey has ended.

My work centers on the often-overlooked season of grief known as “the After”—the quiet, disorienting period following loss when identity, purpose, and self-connection can feel fractured. Many caregivers are expected to “move on” once their loved one dies, yet are left carrying profound grief, exhaustion, guilt, and unanswered questions about who they are now.

Through compassionate, presence-based conversations, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to:

• Process grief at your own pace, without timelines or expectations

• Explore identity loss and emotional exhaustion following long-term caregiving

• Navigate complicated emotions such as guilt, anger, relief, and loneliness

• Reconnect with meaning, self-worth, and the parts of you that were put on hold

• Honor continuing bonds while gently making room for your own life again

As a registered nurse, former long-term caregiver, and certified grief educator, I bring lived experience, deep empathy, and David Kessler’s grief-informed framework into each conversation—while remaining firmly rooted in peer support, not therapy or clinical treatment.

This work is not about fixing grief.
It is about being witnessed, being understood, and learning how to live alongside grief—with compassion, dignity, and hope.
