Beyond Invictus:
HeartLight Center Role
My work with HeartLight Center and local community grief support programs
In addition to my work with Invictus by Genna, I am also honored to serve as the New Mexico Community Liaison for HeartLight Center - a grief support and education non-profit. ​
​
I facilitate peer-based, group-based grief support through open and curriculum-based groups, workshops, and community programs, creating welcoming spaces where people can navigate loss with resilience and meaning. My work blends evidence-informed practices with compassionate companioning, and includes specialized groups for substance loss, sudden and traumatic loss, child and spouse loss, family caregivers grieving a death loss, and more. I developed and implemented the innovative Grieving Brain Support Group and Book Club curriculum for HeartLight Center, blending book club discussions, educational content, and grief-processing techniques. I also cultivate partnerships with hospices, funeral homes, and community leaders, coordinate remembrance events, and serve as a regional ambassador and chair of the Grief Networking Alliance of New Mexico.
I don’t just sit with grief. I help shape how entire communities respond to it.
While Invictus is where I work closely with individuals and families, my role with HeartLight Center allows me to build grief support at the community level — expanding access, partnerships, and programs so fewer people have to navigate loss alone.
In addition to holding space for individual stories, I help build the programs, partnerships, and systems that make grief support more visible, welcoming, and accessible to everyone. Because healing shouldn’t depend on luck or proximity — it should be part of the fabric of a community. This work strengthens everything I offer through Invictus. It keeps me connected to the bigger picture — not just how we support one person, but how we care for entire communities.

I serve as a bridge between HeartLight and the community — part educator, part facilitator, part program builder.
At its heart, this role is about one thing: making it easier for people to find support when they need it most.
Working at both levels — individual and community — shapes how I show up as a grief professional.
It keeps my practice grounded in research, responsive to real needs, and deeply connected to the people and communities I serve.
At Invictus, I hold the lantern for one person at a time.
At HeartLight, I help build the harbor.
