I stood at the foot of my husband's hospital bed... "Where is the book?" I asked the doctor. "What book?" he asked... "The book that tells me how to do this..."
I was 33 years old and my 35 year old husband lay in the bed, just pronounced brain dead. It was the most devastating loss I had experienced in my life. Through this unexpected blow in life, I learned many lessons that I did not want to learn, but I did learn something profound. I wanted to help other people through the horribleness of grief.
After doing much research on what type of certification I wanted to get in order to help people, I discovered the Grief Recovery Method website. I signed up for their certification program and became a Grief Recovery Specialist in 2016. The Grief Recovery Method is a practical, action based program that fit my beliefs and lifestyle. I have now helped over 150 people walk through the small and correct actions that allow people to come from pain to relief. I have heard over and over again how much of a life changing impact this program has had on a person's life. And I personally know the positive impact it has had on mine.
I currently live in the lovely hamlet of Mount Pleasant, NC and work in surrounding areas that include Concord, Charlotte, Matthews, Albemarle and other small towns around me. I have had the priviledge of working one on one with some people, I have taught "When Children Grieve" to staff at a local Christian School, I currently teach classes of 6-8 people based on the Grief Recovery Method, and one of my favorite classes to teach is the Pet Loss class.
I am also certified through the Grief Recovery Institute to teach the Grief Recovery Method over the internet using video technology, for those who want to recover from a loss in the comfort of their home!
I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story...

This program is for people who prefer to work one-on-one rather than in a group setting. The 7-session format utilizes the same proven materials as the group programs and can be completed in-person with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist specifically trained to help people move through loss with dignity and respect.
Our support groups offer a safe, evidence-based environment for grievers to take effective and lasting action, no matter the type of loss experienced. These groups are led by Grief Recovery Method Specialists, trained and certified by the Grief Recovery Institute.
