My life changed forever when my identical twin sister died at age 24 from an inoperable brain tumor. Her death in the hospital shattered me. I was angry at God and couldn’t bear to be near hospitals—they represented loss and finality. To cope, I stayed busy, pouring myself into work. I became a real estate agent, then a broker, and by 30, I had opened my own real estate office. Outwardly, I was thriving. Inwardly, I had unfinished grief.

Eventually, I knew I had to face my sorrow and my broken relationship with the Divine. I found a new spiritual home where I felt safe enough to wrestle with my pain. In time, a quiet calling began to stir—a sense that I was meant to walk with others through their own experiences of loss. I began volunteering in pastoral care at my church and later became an ordained minister. In what felt like a full-circle moment, I was called back into the very place I once feared—hospital work. I became a Board-Certified Clinical Chaplain and spent 12 years serving at Long Beach Memorial and Miller Children’s Hospital in California.

During that time, I facilitated adult bereavement groups for seven years, drawing from Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and the traditional grief process. After retiring, I continued leading groups through my local church. It was during one of those sessions that someone asked if I had heard of the Grief Recovery Method®. I hadn’t—but once I read the book, I was captivated. It was unlike anything I had studied or practiced before. The method awakened something deep in me—a renewed sense of purpose and passion.

The Grief Recovery Method® is an evidence-based, action-oriented approach to healing the emotional pain of grief. What does that mean? It means it works. It helps us uncover, understand, and complete the unresolved grief we carry—not just from death, but from divorce, pet loss, childhood trauma, moves, aging, changes in health, and even the cumulative loss we experienced during COVID-19.

This method works for all kinds of loss.

I offer both group and individual classes, where you will:

Identify the myths and ineffective tools we've used to cope with grief.

Learn practical, emotional tools for long-term healing.

Complete undelivered emotional communications to bring peace and resolution.

If you're feeling stuck in sadness, heartache, regret, or numbness, please reach out. You don’t have to carry this alone. I would be honored to walk with you on this journey.
