Grief touches every part of life-our relationships, our sense of safety, our identity and the way we move through the world.
Whether you're a parent supporting a hurting teen or an adult carrying a loss that still feels heavy, you deserve support that is clear, evidenced based and deeply human.
This page will help you understand the two ways I support individuals and families through grief, trauma and emotional pain-and guide you to the option that fits your needs.
Grief & Trauma Coaching for Parents of Teens
Support for parents navigating the emotional impact of their teen’s trauma, crisis, or mental health challenges. A space for your grief, your parenting, and your family’s healing.
The Grief Recovery Method
A structured, evidence‑based process for completing unresolved grief from any of life’s more than 40 types of losses.

My Approach
No matter which path you choose, you’ll receive trauma‑informed support, evidence‑based tools, and a compassionate, judgment‑free space to heal. My work blends professional training with lived experience, offering clarity, structure, and connection during some of life’s most overwhelming moments.
INVITE KRISTIN TO SPEAK
Grief shows up in classrooms, workplaces, and communities, whether we know how to talk about it or not.
I offer presentations and workshops for schools, parent groups, professional organizations, and community settings that want to understand grief in a way that is practical, compassionate, and immediately usable.
Common topics include:
-
how children understand and express grief at different developmental stages
-
what to say (and what not to say) to someone who is grieving
-
supporting students after loss or trauma
-
understanding unresolved grief in adults and how it affects behavior, learning, and relationships
-
creating grief-informed environments in schools and organizations
Every presentation is tailored to the audience, with the goal of helping people feel more prepared, more capable, and less afraid of getting it wrong.
If your school, organization, or group is looking for a way to approach grief that is clear, respectful, and deeply human, I’d be honored to be part of that conversation.
