I am here to walk beside you
My name is your guide at The Grief Harbor. I support adults navigating the complex landscape of loss through compassionate, steady coaching. Together, we create a sanctuary where your story is heard and your journey is honored with deep presence and grounded methods.
Through the Tides
My journey into grief coaching wasn't a choice made in a classroom, but one forged in the quiet, heavy moments of my own loss. Several years ago, I stood where you might be standing now—feeling as though the ground had vanished and the world I knew had been irrecoverably altered. It was during that period of profound silence and searching that I realized the necessity of a steady harbor.
"Grief is not a problem to be solved, but a journey to be witnessed with unwavering steadiness."
This experience called me to this work. I realized that while the pain of loss is universal, the path through it requires a specific kind of space—one that is grounded, patient, and free from the pressure to 'get over it.' Today, I use my personal history and professional training to be that anchor for others, helping adults navigate the complexities of 2026 with a sense of gentle purpose and renewed meaning.
A Steady Way Forward
Narrative Healing
We work together to explore the stories of your loss, helping you find a voice for the unspoken and crafting a narrative that honors your history while creating space for a new chapter.
Steady Grounding
In the turbulence of grief, steadiness is essential. Using gentle mindfulness and somatic awareness, I support you in finding anchors of calm within your daily life, even when everything feels in flux.
Meaning Rebirth
Grief changes who we are. Our work focuses on integrating your loss into your identity, slowly uncovering ways to carry your love forward into a life that feels authentic and purposeful once more.
