Professional grief support, grounded in lived loss.

I have spent more than twenty years beside children, adults, and families through grief, school challenges, healthcare systems, military-connected communities, and life-changing transitions.

I am both a child-loss therapist and a bereaved mother of a young child. I have experienced years of infertility, miscarriages, and the death of a young child. After my child died suddenly following an illness, my professional understanding of grief became deeply personal. I now understand more deeply the difference between studying grief and living with its presence in everyday life.

That experience deepened my mission: to stand beside people facing profound loss, with particular care for parents and families grieving the death of a child. Compassion Navigator also helps the people who care deeply but do not know what to say, what to do, or how to keep showing up.

With care, Compassion Navigator
