Member Profile

I am an award-winning children’s author with Warren Publishing and currently have two grief-focused books in process for release this fall—one for children and one for adults following my personal journey through child loss. My work is deeply rooted in lived experience, compassion, and the belief that no one should walk through grief alone.
I am a trained Grief Educator through David Kessler’s grief programs, a member of his Tender Hearts program, and a moderator for his Monday night specific loss support groups. I am also a certified End-of-Life Death Doula, providing compassionate support to individuals and families navigating serious illness, end-of-life transitions, and grief.
In addition to my books and grief work, I recently opened my Etsy shop, Courage and Crayons, where I create colorful and interactive grief printables designed to help children process emotions, loss, and healing in safe and creative ways.
As I remaster my website to reflect these new paths, I will be offering peer-to-peer grief support, group grief counseling, end-of-life doula services, speaking engagements, and future book tours centered around grief, resilience, healing, and hope. My goal is to combine my professional training, personal experience, and creative work to support both children and adults through some of life’s most difficult moments.
