Hello and welcome. I’d like to tell you a little about my journey to becoming a Grief Recovery Method Specialist. Sometimes life surprises us with unexpected twists and turns. I was happily traveling down one path when I was suddenly slammed with multiple losses in 2020. It started 20 minutes into the new year when I witnessed my sister’s tragic death after being struck by a car as we walked home from watching New Year’s Eve fireworks on the beach. A few months later, my 6-year-old dog came down with a rare disease that caused blindness and other symptoms; unfortunately, she died within 2 months. In September, I went through a very painful divorce after my ex-wife’s betrayal and, subsequently, lost my relationship with the step-kids I had helped raise from an early age. In the meantime, my father had 2 strokes and ended up in a nursing home as the pandemic was raging. He died from COVID complications in December. All of these events led me to grief and divorce support groups where I first heard about the Grief Recovery Method. I went through the method a few times and found such relief from the pain I was experiencing daily. I decided to become certified to help others learn to cope and heal using this profound tool.
I would consider it an honor and a privilege to walk with you on your grief recovery journey. Please know that your heart will be handled with care. If you happen to identify as an LGBTQ+ human being, your losses will be safe with me. If you’ve lost a pet, I will listen and validate your pain and help you heal.
I offer GRM groups, one on one, and pet loss programs in the Mississippi Gulf Coast area. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey.

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.
