Struggling with grief? 
Get the help you need here

Grief is hard. Unimaginably so. I want you to know that even if you feel like there is none, there is hope, and you are not alone in this journey. I’ve seen firsthand how resilient the human spirit can be—even in the depths of loss.

Through my grief books, private counseling, group sessions, and speaking engagements, I blend mindfulness with compassionate guidance to help you navigate loss and find healing on your own terms. With support, compassion, and mindful practices, you can discover the strength within yourself to survive, grow, and ultimately live with meaning and joy again.

Why I Became a Grief Counselor:
My Journey Rooted in Healing and Hope

My journey into mindfulness and grief support began with the death of my Uncle Doug. He died by suicide right before the Thanksgiving holiday when I was just 7 years old. That changed everything. In the midst of my own grief, I was overwhelmed, searching for something to help me make sense of my pain and find a way forward. 

I turned to mindfulness, and through meditation, I discovered an inner calm that allowed me to honor my emotions without being consumed by them. This practice became a lifeline—a space where I could sit with my grief and find some measure of peace.

As I continued to heal, I felt called to share these practices with others who were struggling. I pursued formal studies in thanatology—the study of death and bereavement—and became a certified yoga therapist. With these tools, I could guide others through their own grief journeys, helping them find moments of calm, resilience, and hope through mindfulness, whether in groups, private sessions, or workshops.

Today, I am grateful to be able to help others navigate their grief through the same practices that helped me. Through my books, counseling sessions, and public speaking, I share what I’ve learned with those who feel lost or alone in their pain. My goal is to empower others to reconnect with themselves, honor their loved ones, and eventually find a renewed sense of purpose and joy.
