As a self-proclaimed, Grief Enthusiast, I am someone who learned from a very young age to seek the light while growing in the shade.  It wasn’t by choice but something that came naturally.  Grief was a constant presence and tended to hover over my childhood home like a gray cloud.  Like a fog, it seemed to infiltrate everything.  And like anything else that hangs around long enough, I learned to cohabitate with it and eventually even befriend its many configurations. 

Over the years, I’ve experienced grief in many forms.  The most significant was the loss of my mother at the age of nineteen. I’ve come to know the many faces of grief, especially where they hide - invisible, undetected.  Once seen, with a compassionate eye, however, grief tends to lose its mask - releasing its grip and even bearing gifts. 

As a trained Spiritual Director with a Master’s Degree in Human Development, I have come to learn that I can be a conduit of healing only as far as I’ve done the healing work within myself. Therefore, it is only through my continued commitment to my own healing journey that I am best able to companion with you through this complicated terrain.
