Healing Starts with Us

Who I Am & Why I Started H.E.A.L.

H.E.A.L. Trauma & Grief Services was founded by a Registered Nurse and mother. 

It was born out of the most heartbreaking experience of my life—the tragic loss of my son, who was murdered in a drive-by shooting. He was shot multiple times, and although his killers were never held accountable, they returned to their lives while mine was forever changed.

In the midst of unimaginable grief, I was faced with a painful truth: there are very few spaces where people can safely process trauma and loss while still being seen, heard, and supported with compassion. I founded H.E.A.L. to create that space—not just for myself, but for other mothers, families, and individuals who are navigating grief, trauma, and unanswered questions.

Through H.E.A.L., I honor my son’s memory by walking alongside others in their darkest hours, offering care that restores dignity, fosters resilience, and reminds them that they are not alone. My mission is to help others heal—not by forgetting, but by finding strength, meaning, and hope in the midst of pain.

H.E.A.L. is more than a service—it is my way of turning tragedy into purpose and ensuring that my son’s life continues to inspire healing for others.
