Welcome to the Grief Recovery Method. Take a deep breath... you have been through a lot. Whether you are here for yourself or to help a loved one, know you are in a safe place to heal from the pain of loss.
I started my journey with the Grief Recovery Institute when I was looking for a way to support my sister after the unexpected death of her husband. What I found was a beautiful healing journey for her, her daughters, and myself. And I now have the privilege to guide others on theirs.
I have been in healthcare since 1982. In my time as an ER, trauma, and flight nurse, I witnessed the passing of many individuals and supported their families and loved ones during the initial moments after their death. Yet none of this prepared me for my first major loss when my mother died. Even after 9 years, I still held on to the pain of watching her last 10 days on this earth. As part of the certification process to become a specialist, we are guided through the Grief Recovery Method. During this part of the training, I addressed the unresolved parts of my relationship with my mother's death and have found peace. I can now see the gifts I received during her final days, letting go of the pain and judgement I carried.
As an Advanced GRMS, I currently serve the community in and around Chattanooga, TN. I offer in-person and on-line grief recovery classes, to individuals and groups. Classes available include the signature Grief Recovery Method, Helping Children with Loss, or Pet Loss Recovery.
In addition to being an Advanced GRMS, I am a Registered Nurse (RN) , a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), and a Certified Professional Coach (CPC). I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can support you heal the emotional pain of loss.

This program is for people who prefer to work one-on-one rather than in a group setting. The 7-session format utilizes the same proven materials as the group programs and can be completed in-person or online with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist specifically trained to help people move through loss with dignity and respect.
Our support groups offer a safe, evidence-based environment for grievers to take effective and lasting action, no matter the type of loss experienced. These groups are led by Grief Recovery Method Specialists, trained and certified by the Grief Recovery Institute.
The loss of a pet can be emotionally devastating. Sadly, the impact of the heartbreak of this type of loss is often downplayed or ignored by friends and family. This 6-meeting program is focused on offering pet owners an effective mechanism for taking action to move through and beyond their grief.
