Broken Hearted?

If you’re human, you have experienced loss – the loss of a loved one, a divorce, employment or health changes or any of the other 40+ kinds of loss.

While grief is the natural and normal emotional response to loss of any kind, many of us are ill-equipped to navigate it.

The good news is there is a way through.  It is never too early or too late to begin to heal your heart.  

I help people who have experienced loss(es) take the actions necessary to heal their hearts and re-discover life after loss.

Grief is the natural, normal emotional response to loss of any kind.

Loss Takes its Toll

Grief can be experienced in a variety of ways.  You might experience general exhaustion (mental and physical), feeling numb and lonely.  You may experience difficulties concentrating, changes in eating and sleeping habits, or feel like you’re on an intense emotional roller coaster.

Sometimes, well-meaning people say unhelpful and hurtful things in an attempt to be supportive. Maybe you’ve heard  “just let go” and “move on,” but these well-meaning people can’t tell you how you are supposed to do so.

If you’re recognizing the way grief is (has been) impacting your life and are looking:

  • To feel more, better or different.
  • To reconnect with the parts of yourself and your life that grief has disrupted.
  • For empathetic, experienced support because you don’t want to go through this alone.
