Hi, I'm Gretchen

and as a survivor to multiple traumatic losses (including sibling loss and suicide loss) and trained grief coach I'm here to give you the support you need.

I'm not here to make you 'do the work' - I know you are already exhausted and depleted.

Instead my goal for you is to give supportive and guidance that will allow your mind to feel safe again, and help you create a life that feels gentle and loving as you honor and grieve the unique bond you experienced with your sibling*

*I do work with all loss types but my primary focus is sibling loss

CLARICE YOUNG

After a bad experience with therapy I knew I needed to try something new but I wasn't sure what. Luckily I found Gretchen, and it was like finally I found someone who really got it. Finally I can be honesty about how much this sucks, and really learn how to survive this.

If you are struggling reach out to Gretchen. You won't regret it.

My Approach

Validation for Traumatic Grief

I create spaces where the trauma of this grief is centered rather than sidelined. This makes all the difference as regular grief support does not address the horror of traumatic loss.

Softness not Resilience

Instead of pushing toward growth after loss, I guide you toward creating a gentler life that honors both your grief and your desire to live meaningfully.

Practical (and Honest) Help

I provide trauma-specific tools for caring for your nervous system, rebuilding identity, and maintaining bonds with your siblings beyond death.
And as a fellow griever I offer genuine understanding without pretending to have all the answers.

Supportive Connection

I create communities where sibling grievers can be fully seen and heard—because nothing helps sibling grief like connecting with others who truly understand.
