IDENTIFYING YOUR SUPPORT NEEDS
To help you decide if grief coaching is the right fit for your needs:
Grief Coaching is a collaborative, narrative-based partnership focused on honoring your story and discovering meaningful ways to move alongside your grief in your life-after.
- Grief coaching is non-clinical and non-diagnostic, making it a supportive companion to ongoing therapy or counseling, rather than a substitute.
- Grief coaching holds you as creative, resourceful, and whole. While traditional mentoring relies on advice-giving or external direction, grief coaching trusts that you are the ultimate wisdom-keeper of your own journey—guiding your own awareness and actions.
Therapy & Counseling are clinical healthcare services focused on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, processing deep trauma, and managing clinical symptoms.
Mentoring is a directive relationship centered on advice-giving, teaching, or guiding someone through a specific career, skill, or life path.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, you don't need to have your story organized or know exactly what offering you want. We’ll talk through where you are and how grief coaching can support you.
If we both feel called to move forward, I’ll send you an onboarding link where you can select your preferred payment tier, schedule our first session, and complete a short intake form.
