Grief & Spiritual Care

Non-clinical grief support and spiritual care for people navigating loss, transition, and disruption — welcoming of all traditions and backgrounds.

You don't have to grieve alone

Grief is a human response to loss, change, transition, and disruption. It shows up in our bodies, emotions, relationships, communities, and spiritual lives — and it is shaped by history, culture, power, and systemic harm. My role is to walk with you, help you name what has been lost, and support you in weaving new meaning and possibilities without bypassing the truth of your pain. This is companioning work — bearing witness, making space for lament and testimony, co-creating rituals that honor what has been lost, and awakening the imagination toward reconnection and aliveness.

Together, we attend both to your inner experience and to the larger stories and systems that have shaped your losses — making room for honest grief, spiritual wrestling, ritual, and collective reimagining.

Clarity of scope

What this work is — and is not

I offer non-clinical grief support, spiritual care, and education. This work does not involve diagnosis, clinical interpretation of symptoms, or promises of specific treatment outcomes. When clinical or crisis support is needed, I encourage and help clients connect with licensed mental health providers, medical professionals, or crisis services in their local communities.

Non-clinical grief support for people navigating death and dying, cumulative and disenfranchised grief, violence-related loss, organizational grief, and life transitions

Who this is for

This work is for people of every background, tradition, and belief system who are carrying grief and seeking more than a clinical framework. It centers Black communities and other historically marginalized populations, while remaining open to all.

Those navigating the death of a loved one — recent or long-carried

Individuals experiencing cumulative, ambiguous, or disenfranchised grief

Those whose grief is entangled with racism, colonialism, gendered violence, or other systemic harm

People navigating grief alongside faith questions, spiritual crisis, or religious transition

Those facing anticipatory grief or end-of-life questions

Caregivers, chaplains, and helping professionals carrying secondary or vicarious grief

Those in life transitions — organizational, relational, vocational — that carry grief even without a death

Formation

The formation behind this work

My approach is shaped by womanist theology, grief studies, somatic awareness, and community-based care — and by years of walking with people across traditions, backgrounds, and belief systems. This breadth is not incidental. It is what allows me to meet each person where they are, with the full range of tools that grief requires.
