Work With Me
Every person arrives at grief differently. The Carried Forward Framework meets you where you are — five phases that move you from grief that's unnamed and unprocessed, to integrated and reconnected. You don't have to get over it. You carry it forward.
Not sure where to start? The free 30-minute discovery call is the answer. No pitch. Just a conversation.
30 minutes. You talk, I listen. No agenda beyond understanding where you are and whether this is the right fit.
One session, a 90-day journey, or the full six-month program. I'll tell you honestly which one makes sense for you.
Sessions are on Zoom. Between sessions you have support. The work is real — and it moves at your pace, not a preset schedule.
Not fixed. Not finished. But different — with more language for what you carry and more clarity about where you're going.
Start with Tiers 1 or 2 if you're not ready to commit to something longer. The 90-Day Journey is the most popular starting point for anyone actively grieving. Carried Forward is for people who've been carrying this for a while and are ready to do deep work.
All 1:1 sessions are on Zoom. All packages include check-in support between sessions. Faith integration is always available, never required.
For people who heard about this and want to see if it's real before committing to anything.

Long enough for real movement. Short enough not to feel like it has no end. The most common starting place for new clients.
For people 6–36 months into a major loss who feel stuck, flattened, or like no one around them understands what they're still carrying.
12 sessions over 6 months
The deep-dive offering. Not just surviving grief — learning to build a life around it. This is transformation work, and it takes the time it takes.
No pitch. No pressure. A real conversation to see if this is the right fit. This is always the right place to start.

Is this therapy?
No. Grief coaching is not therapy and I'm not a licensed therapist. Coaching is forward-focused — we're building language, clarity, and momentum. If what you're experiencing requires clinical support, I'll tell you honestly and help you find that.
What kind of grief do you work with?
Any meaningful loss — a parent, a partner, a sibling, a friend, a marriage, a version of yourself. Grief isn't ranked. If it changed your life, it counts.
Do I have to be religious or spiritual?
Not at all. Faith integration is something I offer because it's part of my own story — but it's completely optional. Many clients have no faith context and we never go near it. You're welcome here either way.
How long until I feel better?
I won't promise a timeline. What I can promise is that after working together, you'll have more language for what you're carrying, more tools for hard days, and a clearer sense of who you're becoming on the other side of this.
Can I do this while in therapy?
Yes — and many clients do. Coaching and therapy complement each other well. Coaching tends to focus on forward movement and integration; therapy tends to focus on processing and healing. They're different lanes.
Do I have to have lost a parent to work with you?
No. The Carried Forward Framework was built around parent loss because that's my own story — but grief is grief. If you've lost a partner, a sibling, a close friend, or are carrying a loss that's changed who you are, this work applies. The only requirement is that it mattered to you.
