My coaching encompasses the following components:

  • Creating a safe space to work together

  • Giving you the time to tell your story

  • Teaching you about grief

  • Helping you carry your grief with more ease

  • Allowing you to set the pace and the direction we take

  • Showing you that you can both grieve fully and live fully

What my coaching does not do:

  • Tell you that you are broken or have a diagnosis/illness

  • Tell you there is a right way to grieve or that grief has an endpoint

  • Tell you that I know how you feel. I don’t. Everyone’s grief is their own

  • Have a rigid plan for the direction our coaching sessions will take

Testimonials

  • Karen coached me around grief. After our six sessions together, I felt that I had developed some solid ways of continuing the relationship with my son who died in 2020. She helped me come up with ways to remember him, honor him, and essentially, continue to grieve his death, which is something that I will be doing throughout the rest of my life.

  • Even the smallest steps make a difference in moving forward. That is a lesson I personally experienced in working with Karen and is a lesson that I find myself using regularly now.

    ~B

  • Karen was able to help me explore an experience with grief that I had not fully processed, it was deeply healing. Through being able to just talk and have someone who is listening deeply, I was able to gain a different perspective on issues that had been causing suffering.

  • Karen is an amazing coach who combines empathy with a warm, caring presence as she helps her client navigate the stormy waters of grief and loss. I would highly recommend working with her as a bereaved person, or anyone wrestling with strong emotions. Karen can hold space for her client exceptionally well, while also nudging them ever so gently toward growth.

  • Karen's warmth and instinct are so wonderful. She challenged me, pretty strongly at times, yet I always felt cared for and very much seen as I worked through the very important pattern she challenged.

  • Karen has many strengths as a coach but her ability to "meet you where you are" really stands out. She is extremely knowledgeable on many topics but lets you (as client) lead the conversation. She is empathetic and kind, but also willing to really take a hard look at issues. If you are looking for coaching with a thought partner to help you process, Karen is a great choice.
