Hi!  I’m Ginny.

​

From a young age, I could see the effects of grief on the adults in my life. And I could see the effects of them avoiding grief too.  They were tired and "just pushed through" when it didn't seem necessary.  There was anger that seemed out of place, avoidance of difficult conversations, and pretending like everything was okay when it was clear it wasn't.  I loved these people dearly (and still do!), but something seemed off.  

​​

In my early adulthood I made the decision to face grief head-on. I began to explore how the losses, disappointments, and longings in my life all pointed me back to this experience of grief and how embracing it actually led me to more peace and joy.  

​

My friends and family say I’m someone who truly listens, values how each person brings their uniqueness to the world, and can see the meaning in someone’s story.  They also say I can be too independent, take on too much (I wonder where that comes from!) and can have a funny “let’s burn it all down!” side.

​​

I love having the real conversations. And I believe that when we can tolerate grief – even start to embrace it – we can connect with ourselves and others in a way that gives life meaning and joy. Not joy like “no bad days”, but joy with depth, some humor, and freedom to enjoy life again.

​

If this sounds like something you’re looking for, reach out – I’d love to connect!
