The Grief Recovery Method is an action-based, educational process rather than traditional “therapy,” designed to help people complete the “unfinished emotional business” stemming from any loss. The Grief Recovery Method® gives you a safe, structured, and evidence-based process to explore your beliefs about grief, understand how loss has affected your life, and take meaningful steps toward healing. You’ll meet for 7 weekly online sessions (60 minutes each) or join an 8-week group program (90 minutes each). Each week builds on the last, with simple reading and writing assignments from The Grief Recovery Handbook – 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition. All materials are included. Because the work is cumulative, this is not a drop-in program—your commitment each week helps ensure the best possible results.

The Grief Recovery Method is designed for adults 18+ who are dealing with any form of emotional loss, including death, divorce, relocation, estrangement, career changes, health shifts, or other life disruptions. I also offer tailored programs for corporate settings, educator groups, and community organizations seeking tools for resilience and emotional well-being.

There’s no perfect timeline. When you’re ready to talk, process, and take small steps toward healing, that’s the right time—whether your loss happened recently or years ago.

Yes. Grief isn’t limited to death. Many people experience deep emotional pain from estrangement, divorce, addiction, dementia, or relationships that have changed or ended. The Grief Recovery Method® supports all of these losses by giving you step-by-step tools to address unresolved emotions, release unmet hopes, and move forward with greater peace and clarity.

For individuals and small groups, I offer virtual programs that let you participate from anywhere, in comfort and privacy. I also provide both virtual and in-person events, workshops, and trainings for organizations, workplaces, and community groups. If you’re interested in scheduling a customized program for your team—online or onsite—I’d be happy to share upcoming opportunities or create something tailored to your needs.

Advanced Certification represents the highest level of training offered by the Grief Recovery Institute. It means I am certified to facilitate the full range of Grief Recovery Method programs — including one-on-one work, group programs, and the Helping Children with Loss curriculum — using the Institute’s evidence-based, structured approach to healing unresolved grief. I am also certified as a Grief Educator by world-renowned grief expert David Kessler, which deepens my ability to support clients with compassionate, trauma-informed, and heart-centered grief education.

The Grief Recovery Method® is an educational program rather than clinical therapy, so insurance providers do not cover it. However, I want support to be as accessible as possible. Clients are welcome to split the program fee into two payments over the course of the class. If you are experiencing financial hardship, I also offer a limited number of scholarships each year. These scholarships can significantly reduce—or in some cases fully waive—the cost of the program. If you feel this may apply to you, please reach out, and I will gladly share the application process. My goal is to ensure that anyone seeking healing has a path forward.
