Signature Program and Training, The GRIEVE Method®

Are you feeling lost in the depths of grief, unsure of how to find your way back to the light?

Are you looking for support and guidance to help you care for the grieving community in a profound way?
I’ve walked that path—as a father, a grandfather, and a dedicated chaplain, I’ve faced the towering mountain of pain that seemed to block the future I desired for my family and myself. But through God’s grace, I found a way to navigate through that darkness, and I’ve since made it my mission to guide others through theirs. With nearly a decade of experience, I’ve crafted the GRIEVE method, a unique blend of practical and biblical wisdom that embraces the natural ebb and flow of healing.

A compassionate, biblically-rooted approach to overcoming grief without overwhelming theories or complex practices. Ideal for those seeking a genuine, heartfelt connection to healing, making the journey through loss a guided, empathetic, and truly personal experience.

One-on-One Coaching: Navigating Loss Together

In the complex and often overwhelming journey of loss, you might find yourself facing life’s toughest challenge. Loss can flip your world upside down, leading to a domino effect of sorrow – from the loss of friendships and relationships to decreased productivity and a dwindling sense of hope and joy. You know what I’m talking about; it’s a daunting path, and sometimes, you need a guiding hand.

Though I’m not a licensed counselor, my experience with loss runs deep. I’ve been in the trenches of this journey, a path often misunderstood by those who haven’t walked it. In my role as a Chaplain and Minister, I’ve stood with many who’ve had to face life without their loved ones or cope with other significant losses. When I say, “I understand,” these words are not said lightly; they come from a place of personal anguish, especially resonant since the loss of my cherished granddaughter.

It’s crucial for you to recognize that YOU are the foremost authority on your own experience of trauma and grief. I am here to accompany you, offering insights and support to aid in your healing journey. Together, let’s move towards a brighter path.
