Action Focused and Heart Centered Grief and Trauma Support in Pittsburgh and Virtually Nationwide
Feel Hope ❤️🩹Again
Grief is the normal and natural emotional response to change or loss of any kind. Grief is also the result of unmet hopes, dreams and expectations and includes loss of safety, trust, faith and hope.
Grief touches every part of life-our relationships, our sense of safety, our identity and the way we move through the world.
Whether you're a parent supporting a hurting teen who is navigating trauma or an adult carrying a loss that feels heavy and has you living in a place of pain, you deserve support that is clear, action focused and deeply human.
This page will help you understand the two ways I support individuals and families through grief, trauma and emotional pain and guide you to the option that fits your needs.
