In the span of three months, I lost my husband, my beloved dog, my job, nearly my mother, and the life I had spent almost three decades building in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was a season that stripped everything familiar—no corner of my world was left untouched.

I don’t share this for sympathy. I share it because it reshaped how I see people and how I hold space for them. I know grief not as a concept, but as a companion I’ve learned to live with. I know what it’s like when the ground gives way, when the map disappears, and even the smallest choices feel enormous.

For over twenty years before that season, I worked in education, coaching, and behavioral support—helping children, teens, and adults find their footing in times of uncertainty. My work has always been about language, resilience, and connection: giving people words for what feels unspeakable, routines that bring steadiness, and the quiet courage to begin again.

Today, I weave together professional training and lived experience to guide adults and children through grief and change. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and deeply human—rooted in the belief that the mind and heart, when met with understanding, can heal in their own time and way.

Grief will always take different shapes, but one truth remains: none of us are meant to carry it alone. My role is simply to walk beside you—as you rebuild, remember, and rediscover the parts of life that are still yours to live.
