Why do I do what I do?

Grief is one of the hardest things we experience as humans. We love deeply, and when we lose, we grieve deeply. I know this pain-not just from my work, but from my own life. I've had to rebuild after loss many times – not just bereavement. I've grieved people I loved, identities I once held, and futures I thought I'd have. I know what it's like to feel completely lost, uncertain of how to keep going. And I also know that, in time, it is possible to find a way forward.

This work isn't about fixing grief-because grief isn't something that needs fixing. It's about having someone who will walk alongside you, someone who understands the weight of it and doesn't expect you to just move on or wonder why you're not over it yet. I bring my skills, knowledge, and personal experience to support people in finding their own way through grief, in their own time.

I believe that everyone who grieves deserves to be heard. I understand how grief can feel endless, how it can strip life of meaning and make everything feel like just going through the motions. I know what it's like to feel stuck, to know something needs to change, but I have no idea where to start. I know what it's like to have a lot of support at the beginning and then after a while the silence as people stop asking how you are. I know what it's like for the people I thought would be there most for me but couldn't. That experience drives me-to be there for people when they reach that moment when they know they need help but don't know what to do next.

There is no greater gift I can offer than to witness someone's grief and hold space for it. That's why I do this work.
