Since 2016, I have been walking with grievers through some of life's most difficult challenges. Throughout this time, I have only been made more convinced that each individual is the expert of their own grief experience. I have learned that it is not my job to teach them how to grieve, but rather, to walk beside them while they share their grief with me.
I am a masters level social worker and a certified grief counselor through the American Institute of Health Care Professionals. More importantly though, I am a fellow griever. I too have walked the journey of life-altering, earth shattering grief, and come out the other side with an intense desire and skill to support others in similar situations.
I want to change the world by not only empowering grievers to be the expert of their own experience, but also to show those who yearn to support others in grief that they are wildly capable of that task. My goal in life is to make my role completely unnecessary as I increase the comfort of our culture around the topics of death and grief.
