Hi, I’m Cathy, and I know firsthand how overwhelming grief can be. After experiencing a series of back-to-back losses—the devastating passing of a beloved mentor and father figure, the painful end of a relationship, and the sudden closure of the firm where I had built my career for over a decade—I felt lost, heartbroken, and unsure how to move forward.

For a long time, I carried the weight of my grief in silence, not knowing how to process the emotions that felt too big to name. Then, I found The Grief Recovery Method®, and for the first time, I had the tools I needed to truly heal. This experience changed my life in ways I never imagined, and I knew I wanted to help others find this same freedom. That’s why I became a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®—so that no one has to navigate this journey alone.

I founded Grace Over Guilt Leadership & Wellness Collaborative to provide a safe, supportive space where people can work through their grief in a way that feels gentle, structured, and healing. I believe that grief isn’t something we “get over” but something we learn to move through—with the right support, guidance, and community.

If you’re struggling with loss—whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a pet, a job, or any other significant life transition—I want you to know that you’re not alone. Healing is possible, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in this journey.

I'm based in Los Angeles, CA, and offer both in-person and online Grief Recovery Programs, including one-on-one and group sessions.
