I have been in the medical field for over 24 years as a certified ophthalmic technician. During that time, as I have grown into my adulthood, I have dealt with many different forms of love and loss. I lost my father when I was 31 and just over 5 years ago I lost my life partner. Dealing with such an unexpected death of someone so young and so meaningful in my life has carved a very large scar into me and has shaped the way I look at life and love.

In my career I have spent years sitting with and caring for patients who have been dealing with all forms of grief. The time constraints I had working in ophthalmology made it difficult to spend as much time with them as I would have liked to on a personal level. Many of the patients I had built a relationship with over the years and wanted so much to be able to sit with them in their grief and console them. I always hoped one day I could be in the position to give more of my time and heart to people as they were dealing with their loss.

Three years ago I met a wonderful man who helped heal a part of me that I thought I had lost. He along with my two amazing kids gave me the confidence and strength to make a change in my life towards my goal. I am now a certified Master Grief Coach and am dedicating my life to helping others navigate through grief. My life experience with loss along with my studies and research have given me a strong foundation to build a relationship with my clients.
