Schedule time with me to go for a walk and share the memory of your person.
Grief can feel so isolating, and after a few years it can be more difficult than ever to get comfortable talking about your person with others.
Take time to go on a walk and say all the things you want to say but can’t find the time or the right place to be heard.

My story: My precious son, Jesse, passed away on 4/2/2019 at the age of 35. I have known trauma and heartache in my life, but all paled in comparison to the grief I felt. The first 2 years I remained stuck in my grief. I then joined the on-line group, Tender Hearts, with David Kessler. I began making progress in my grief journey. I want to work with others who have lost children because I know it is possible to survive and even find meaning again in life. Part of that meaning for me was to become a certified Grief Educator.

One-on-one, private grief coaching by phone or video call.
I take a compassionate, deep listening approach to grief coaching. During a session I will ask you questions about your loved one. I want to hear the stories that connected you with your person. Tell me about the things that made you laugh together, the things you disagreed about, the things that took you by surprise, and the things you are missing the most. I will give you my full attention and carry your stories in my heart so your loved one is known. Through this sharing, you will be supported as you move along your grief journey.
My losses include sibling loss, loss to suicide, and parental loss (as an adult). I invite you to reach out to learn how I can help you with these types of losses. I am open to working with anyone who has experienced the death of a loved one, but have the most knowledge about these three losses.

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.
