The Power of Grief as Medicine

What if grief is at the core of addiction?

My role is to provide with you the tools to access what already lies within you.

Based in Asheville, North Carolina 
I work as an End-of-Life Doula, Coach, and Crisis Interventionist. 

I help individuals and families navigate the complexities of addiction, mental health challenges, trauma, and life transitions. 
My work sits in the in-between of traditional therapy, connection to the unseen realms. I support individuals working through various forms of grief.  This work moves slowly. Together, we create a container that allows you to explore these different parts.
 
I believe that within every rupture lies the possibility for repair. Recovery is not simply about abstaining from substances or "beating" an addiction, it is about understanding the deeper story beneath it.  It is about exploring why we feel compelled to escape ourselves, numb our experiences, or disconnect from our bodies in the first place. True recovery invites us into a process of self-discovery, healing, and reconnection.

My goal as a coach is to cultivate a relationship grounded in trust, safety, and genuine human connection. In my experience, when individuals feel truly supported and resourced, they are better able to reconnect with the parts of themselves that addiction, and survival often force into exile. Together, we create space for those parts to return home, to be seen, witnessed, and integrated. Learning together, how to feel safe in our own bodies, trust our inner wisdom, and move through the daily tasks and responsibilities of life with greater confidence, and presence.

I embrace a holistic approach to recovery that recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Honoring the many pathways to recovery, I support clients in discovering what resonates most deeply with their unique experiences, values, and aspirations. My work focuses not only on helping individuals stop destructive behaviors, but on helping them build the internal and external resources necessary to live fully. Together, we explore the underlying patterns, and unmet needs that fuel addictive behaviors while cultivating the tools, relationships, and practices that support lasting change.
