I've walked through the fire — and I know the way back to yourself.
I'm a certified grief and life coach, published writer, and steady companion for women rebuilding after loss. My work is trauma-informed, deeply personal, and rooted in the belief that your grief is not something to fix — it's something to walk through with love.

Grief cracked my life wide open. Then it taught me how to live.
Years ago, my world fell apart in ways I never imagined possible. My Army Physician husband died by suicide, leaving me alone with our three young, grieving, and traumatized children. I became the woman who had to figure out how to keep breathing when everything familiar was gone all while helping my children do the same. I searched for someone who understood — someone who wouldn't rush me, fix me, or hand me a five-step plan. Someone who could be real with me. Meet me where I was and believe in me when I couldn't believe in myself.
I couldn't find her. So I became her.
Today, I coach women 1:1 through the tender, holy work of grieving well and creating lives they want to live--even if they look nothing like the life they were living before. My words have been published in Time Magazine, Scary Mommy, Her View From Home, and TAPS — but this work, right here with you, is where my heart lives.
A coaching relationship built on trust, presence, and care.
My approach is trauma-informed, personalized, and flexible — because your grief doesn't fit a template, and neither should your support.
Trauma-Informed
I hold space for the hardest parts of your story without flinching, judging, or rushing you toward the next chapter.
Personalized
No cookie-cutter frameworks. Every conversation is shaped around who you are, what you've lost, and what you long to build.
High-Touch Support
Between sessions, I'm reachable by email and text. You are not carrying this alone — not for a moment.
Certified, published, and always writing with heart.
My training gives me the tools. My lived experience gives me the compassion. My writing has given me a language for what so often feels unspeakable.

Working with Leslie felt like finally being seen. She didn't try to fix me or hurry my grief. She sat beside me in it — and slowly, I remembered who I was.
Every relationship begins with a conversation.
I offer a free Zoom call so we can meet each other, so you can feel my presence, and so we can talk honestly about what you need. I have 1:1 packages designed to fit many budgets — because this support should be reachable.
