In just three months, I lost my husband, my beloved pet, my job, nearly my mother, and the life I had spent nearly three decades building in Cambridge, MA. It was a season of loss that left no corner of my world untouched.

I don’t share this for sympathy, but because it shapes the way I show up for others. I know grief not only through study and professional training, but through lived experience. I understand what it feels like when the floor gives out beneath you, when routines vanish, and when even ordinary decisions feel impossible.

Before this chapter of my life, I spent over 20 years working in education, coaching, and behavioral support. I’ve guided children, teens, and adults through moments of transition and difficulty—helping them find language for their feelings, build small routines that steady daily life, and rediscover resilience in themselves. My background in psychology of language and culture also gives me tools to bridge differences and honor the many ways people grieve.

Now, I bring together these two threads—professional expertise and personal experience—to support adults and children navigating grief and change. My coaching is practical, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that even in the darkest moments, the human mind holds the capacity to heal, adapt, and grow.

Grief may look different for everyone, but none of us are meant to carry it alone. My role is to walk beside you—whether you’re a parent supporting a child, an adult rebuilding after loss, or simply someone trying to make sense of the unimaginable.
