Exploring grief, belonging, and the relationships that shape who we become.
Research-informed writing, education, and conversations about family relationships, grief, estrangement, identity, and the complicated work of becoming more fully ourselves.
02 The heart of the work
Not everything we need to grieve has died.
Estrangement, family rupture, and the relationships we long for but cannot have can bring a grief that is often unseen, misunderstood, or minimized. Ambiguous loss lives in the in-between—where love, anger, relief, guilt, longing, and sadness can exist all at once.
My work is about naming what is real, making sense of what hurts, and finding our way toward belonging—to ourselves and to a life that feels meaningful.
03 Themes I explore
Grief & Loss
The many forms grief takes, including those that are often invisible.
Family & Estrangement
Understanding rupture, complex family dynamics, and the search for connection and clarity.
Belonging & Identity
Finding our way back to ourselves and building a life rooted in authentic belonging.
