Nationally Recognized Grief Counselor, Featured in the New York Times, Allure, Prevention, the Huffington Post, New York Magazine, Bravo TV, & More
For two decades, I have specialized in bereavement counseling for adults and children. I have created magic and given the experience of “I’m not alone” to people from ages 3 to 93. I have worked with hundreds of children at Comfort Zone Camp, the nation’s largest bereavement camp for children. My experience has also included adult support groups at the United Hospice of Rockland and Healing Hearts children’s grief groups as well.
I am certified in Thanatology, the study of Death, Dying and Bereavement, through ADEC, the Association for Death Education and Counseling.
Grief counseling is a passion of mine.
Whether you grieve the death of a parent, a spouse, a child, an adult child, a friend, a colleague, a partner, a classmate, a relative, or any special someone,
BEREAVEMENT IS BETTER when someone is present to see your tears and hear your fears, to validate your feelings, to listen to your stories, to help you process the act of mourning, to help you create rituals and continuing bonds, to bear witness to your loss.
Everyone should have a safe place in their grieving and healing process and have a safe haven in which to feel feelings, share stories, ask questions, seek advice and learn how to cope, slowly but surely.
I admit that grief is no fun at all, but there are coping tools and ways to grieve healthfully.

A Few of My Philosophies:
Nobody should have to grieve alone.
Every loss is a significant loss to the person who is experiencing it.
“You should be over it” is a myth. Everyone grieves at a different pace.
Grief stinks. There’s nothing fun about it, but we can find enjoyment through the process of continuing bonds.
It’s okay to cry. It’s not a sign of weakness.
Children and adults grieve differently. A child grieves in ways that may not be apparent to adults, but they are grieving.
YOU DESERVE SUPPORT!
