As President of CopingAfterSuicide and an international authority on suicide bereavement, I do deep, transformative, life-changing work with individuals, families, and communities who are dealing with suicide loss, and provide professional education and training on postvention response.

​

I lost my brother Stephen to suicide in 1993, and combine the lessons learned throughout my own journey of healing with two decades as a professional in suicide aftercare, a journey that has taken me from Capitol Hill to South Korea, from television news studios to high school auditoriums, and from Wall Street hedge fund conference rooms to suburban family living rooms.

​

I'm a survivor of suicide loss. I've been there.

And I'm here -- with empathy, expertise, practical guidance, and most important, hope.
