About Me

I am a certified trauma-informed grief coach, but more importantly, I am someone who understands grief not just professionally—but personally, deeply, and repeatedly.

My journey with loss began on September 11, 2001, when my older brother Michael, a firefighter, lost his life in Tower 2. That day changed the trajectory of my life and introduced me to a kind of grief that words can’t fully hold.

Years later, in 2012, I lost my younger brother Paul after he was struck by a car. Another devastating loss, another layer of grief, another piece of my heart learning how to live in a world that no longer felt the same.

In 2019, I experienced the deepest loss of my life—my son Aidan, who died by suicide at just 15 years old. There are no words that truly capture the depth of losing a child. That loss reshaped me in every way. It forced me to confront grief not as something to “move on” from, but something to carry, honor, and learn to live alongside.

Most recently, on March 4th of this year, I lost my beautiful niece Mary at the age of 32. We shared a connection that felt beyond this world—one of those rare, soul-deep bonds. Losing her was another profound heartbreak.

These losses are not separate stories—they are threads woven into who I am today. They are also the foundation of my work.

Three Lights Grief Coaching was born from the enduring love I carry for my brothers, my son, and my niece. They are my “three lights”—the guiding forces behind the space I hold for others.

My approach to grief coaching is honest, compassionate, and grounded. I will sit with you in the hard places, without trying to rush you through them. But I will also gently challenge you when you feel stuck, helping you uncover what may be keeping you from moving forward—not away from your grief, but with it.

Grief changes you. There is no going back to who you were before—but there is a way to move forward with meaning, connection, and even moments of peace.

You don’t have to do this alone.
