Speaker • Author • Grief & Resilience Specialist
Grief changes us - not just in the moment of loss, but in the days, months, and years that follow. After experiencing multiple profound losses in 2024, including the complicated death of my father, my life’s work shifted. I realized how many people move through grief without support, language, or guidance and how often we’re told to “be strong” before we’re ever given the space to feel. Today, I help individuals and organizations navigate grief with compassion, clarity, and grounded emotional tools. My work blends lived experience with trauma-aware practices, nervous-system regulation, and a deep belief that we can learn to carry our grief while still rebuilding a meaningful life. Through keynote speaking, workshops, 1:1 support, group programs, retreats, and books, I support people through:
Complicated grief & ambiguous loss
Burnout, overwhelm & emotional exhaustion
Major life transitions
Identity changes
Workplace loss
Nervous-system dysregulation
The quiet, unseen parts of grief we rarely talk about
My approach is centered on Grace, Space + Base:
Grace — Self-compassion and permission to not be okay
Space — Room to feel and heal at your own pace
Base — Grounding support, tools, and connection
This page is a place for honest conversations, gentle reminders, and practical tools to help you expand your emotional capacity and rediscover strength in the aftermath of loss. You won’t find toxic positivity here. If you’re navigating grief, supporting someone who is, or you’re an organization seeking to better support your people, I’m here. Turning story into strength - one conversation at a time.
