Grief Support
For over twenty years, my passion for helping people navigate their personal grief journeys has been a primary focus of my life, and of my work.
I have provided grief counseling and coaching to adults, teens, and children in a variety of settings from the home, workplaces, churches, hospice and grief support organizations, bereavement camps, and public schools.
My love for helping families navigate and strengthen through grief came from my own personal experience. My husband and I had our share of heartache when our children were little. He was widowed when his sons were 11 and almost 3 years old. My marriage ended in a sudden divorce when my son was 2 1/2 and my daughter was 5 months old.
We found one another a couple years later and blended our two families 23 years ago. The beautiful grandchildren above are a result of this special union and of the collective and individual healing each of our children has done as they've grown into adults.
I'm proud to say that the wonderful colleagues I've had the honor of working with over the years, and I, have helped hundreds of kids and families learn tools and strategies to cope with loss. My ongoing education in grief, and additional grief certifications, have prepared me to be a compassionate, knowledgeable partner in the grief journey.
In recent years, I have walked the path of saying goodbye to my dear Mom and Dad and to number of special loved ones in my life. Each of these experiences, though painful and difficult, has fortified me to provide even greater skills, empathy, and compassion to those I serve.
As a coach, I'm grateful to be able to help grieving children and families through:
-

Family Coaching

Community and school-based programs
