About Caryl

I have always been called to walk with people 

in their grief 

and times of transition.  

After college, I trained and worked on the crisis intervention line CONTACT.  

This started me on a path that would weave in and out of my life until now.

After performing as a singer in NYC and working as an orchestra manager, I realized I wanted something more...something where I could be of help to people and nurture this calling from within.  I remembered my work with CONTACT and how meaningful and satisfying it was to help those who were grieving and living with the grief that was never resolved.

Pursuing this, I developed and managed 

the Crisis Intervention 

HELPLINE in Santa Barbara, CA.  I supervised and trained volunteers for HELPLINE and provided presentations and training about suicide prevention and grief in the community.  

Back in New Jersey, I served as Volunteer and Bereavement Coordinator for the VNA Community Hospice in Trenton, NJ.  In this position, I developed the manual and provided training and supervision for the volunteers, as well as provided Bereavement Support Groups for hospice families and the community.  It was the most satisfying work I'd ever done.  

Now an 

Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist through the Grief Recovery Institute, I can now help those who 

are grieving to move 

through pain and loss 

as they heal and 

incorporate whatever transition they are experiencing, together...online.  

With intention, patience and love, you can live a new life with purpose and a different kind of happiness.  

I'd be honored to be your companion on your grief journey.
