Grief can feel isolating, even when you’re surrounded by people who care.

And while I am a firm believer in the power of community and peer support, there are moments when you need something more personal. A space where the focus is entirely on you. Your experience. Your questions. Your pace.

Coaching offers that space.

This is a place where you don’t have to filter your words or shape your grief into something more comfortable for others to hear. You get to show up exactly as you are.

This work is not about fixing your grief or moving you toward a version of “better” that doesn’t feel true. It’s about making space for what is real, and supporting you as you learn how to carry it in a way that feels more sustainable.

My Approach

I specialize in guiding individuals through grief, loss, and life transitions – supporting them as they begin to illuminate and heal unresolved pain, and rediscover themselves in the process.

My approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and deep listening. I am also informed on somatic experiencing and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and gently integrate these perspectives into our work together.  This allows us to not only talk about your grief, but to begin understanding how it lives in your body, your patterns, and your internal world.

I believe that every person has the capacity for meaningful change.  Not by forcing themselves forward, but by learning how to meet themselves more honestly. Whether that change looks like healing, self-discovery, or taking steps toward a new chapter, it begins with awareness and you don’t have to do it alone.

What We Can Explore Together

Our conversations are guided, but not rigid. There is intention, but also room for whatever needs to surface.

Together, we can explore:

  • What your grief feels like right now.  (Not what it’s supposed to look like, but what it actually is for you.)

  • The challenges you’re navigating, internally and in your relationships

  • How loss has shifted your identity, and who you are becoming now

  • Patterns, protective parts, and emotional responses that may be keeping you stuck

  • What support could actually look like for you in your real life

  • How to reconnect with your greater sense of self beneath the weight of grief

We move at your pace.  Always.


One-on-One Coaching

These sessions are designed to meet you where you are.  

Some people come in the early stages of loss, trying to make sense of what just happened.  Others come years later, when the world has moved on, but their grief hasn’t.  Some are navigating disconnection within their families, or the quiet weight of carrying grief in spaces that don’t fully understand it.

There is no “right” time to begin.

Together, we create a space that allows for vulnerability, honesty, and reflection, while also gently illuminating a path forward.  A path that is grounded, not in pressure, but in courage and embodied resilience.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.  You just have to be willing to begin.

Looking Ahead: Group Spaces

While one-on-one coaching offers individualized support, there is also something meaningful about being in a shared space with others who understand grief in their own way.

In the near future, Gritty Grief™ will be offering:

  • small, intentional group circles

  • monthly connection spaces

  • live Q&A sessions for submitted questions, concerns, or challenges you’re facing

These are not open yet, but they are being thoughtfully developed.  If being part of a space like this speaks to you, you’re invited to join the interest list.  This helps shape what these offerings become and ensures you’re the first to know when they’re available.

  • "Grief doesn’t need to be rushed or resolved, but it does ask something of you: to be willing to face yourself in honest and sometimes uncomfortable ways. Do it with others who are living it with you and understand first hand."
