Grief is overwhelming, all-consuming, exhausting, and lonely. The things you feel and the thoughts you have are normal.
You are not broken.
As hard as it can be to hear, relief is possible. Grief is not the end. All you need to do is show up for yourself, one small step at a time.
With me, you will be coached with compassion and accountability each step of the way.
I've been where you are, and I found my way through.
Now it's time for me to help you find your way through.

Before You Ask
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching is practical: structure, plans, patterns, accountability. We focus on on moving you forward. Therapy can be a great complement and help you heal your past. This is a different container.
How much time does it take?
Less than staying stuck for another year. You’ll have a weekly plan built around your real life, not a fantasy routine.
What if I've tried therapy, journals, and books already?
Because insight isn’t the same as follow-through. Coaching is where we turn what you know into what you do—repeatedly—until it sticks.

Questions

Questions

Is this therapy?
No. This is coaching. Therapy treats mental health; it heals your past. Coaching builds action, structure, and follow-through in your life. We’ll talk about what’s true, but we’re not doing diagnosis, treatment, or clinical care. Therapy and coaching work well side by side. If you need therapy, I’ll say so, and I’ll point you in the right direction.
What does 1:1 include?
Here’s what you’re actually getting: 1) Weekly 1:1 sessions (structured, not rambling): we identify what matters most this week and what needs to change. 2) A simple weekly plan built around your real bandwidth (not a fantasy routine). 3) Pattern tracking: what triggers you, what keeps you stuck, and what reliably helps you recover faster. 4) Tools and reps for steadiness: small actions that build momentum when motivation is gone. 5) Direct feedback: I’ll validate the hard parts and still tell you the truth. 6) Clear boundaries + referrals when needed: if what you need is clinical care, I’ll say that directly. Bottom line: you’re not paying for a conversation. You’re paying for a container that produces movement.
How much does it cost?
This is premium 1:1 support. It’s priced like it because it requires real capacity, real attention, and real accountability. I'll share the exact investment after the intro call once we confirm this is the right lane for you. That’s not secrecy. That’s respect: I don’t sell people into the wrong container.
How much time does it take?
Less time than staying stuck takes. Practically: - Weekly sessions (consistent cadence matters) - Small steps between sessions—think minutes per day, not a second job - A weekly plan that fits your actual life (work, kids, grief, exhaustion included) If you have zero bandwidth, coaching won’t magically create it. But most people do have some bandwidth, they just need a plan that doesn’t collapse the moment emotions show up.
I've tried therapy/books–why this?
Because knowing isn’t doing. Books and therapy can give insight. Insight is useful. But many people get stuck at the same point: “I understand myself… and I’m still repeating the pattern.” Coaching is where we turn insight into implementation: We build structure. We practice in real time. We adjust based on what actually happens in your week. We keep going until change becomes repeatable. This is for people who are done collecting information and ready to build new behavior.
What if I'm not ready?
If you’re waiting to feel ready, you’ll be waiting forever. Readiness usually shows up after you start. The real question is simpler: - Are you willing to be honest? - Are you willing to try small steps even when you don’t feel like it? - Are you willing to stop negotiating with the same excuses? If yes, you’re ready enough. If no, that’s okay. As long as you don’t confuse “not ready” with “I’m hoping time fixes this.”
What if I'm scared you'll judge me?
That fear makes sense. Most people have been judged—by others or by themselves—for struggling. Here’s the deal: I’m not interested in judging you. I've been where you are. I have felt peoples judgements. I’m interested in helping you tell the truth and move. And yes, sometimes the truth stings. But shame isn’t the tool. Clarity is. You won’t be punished for being messy. You will be challenged if you keep hiding.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not for you if: - You’re in active crisis or can’t reliably keep yourself safe. Get clinical or emergency help first. In the US, call or text 988 to receive immediate help. - You’re looking for therapy, diagnosis, or treatment. Coaching isn’t that. - You want someone to rescue you, convince you, or chase you into change. - You want guarantees or quick fixes. This is rebuild work. - You’re not willing to do any reps between sessions (that’s where change happens). If you’re unsure, that’s what the intro call is for. I’ll be honest about whether this is the right container because I’d rather protect your time and money than “close” you.
