Liza Roesch, M.S.
Family Bereavement Services Manager
(804) 912-2947 ext. 109
Liza first came to Full Circle as a participant in our Perinatal Loss Group in winter 2024 after the loss of her son. Moved by the power of peer support in grief, she began volunteering with Full Circle a few months later. In 2025, she facilitated Full Circle’s school-based grief groups in four elementary and middle schools in Richmond.
Liza has spent her career expanding opportunities for young people and ensuring they have the support they need to thrive. A proud Teach For America alum, Liza began her career teaching 8th grade writing and coaching girls’ soccer in Phoenix, Arizona before joining Teach For America staff full-time. She later led programs for high school and college students at Google and Amazon Web Services.
In addition to her professional experiences, Liza holds a BA in Psychology from the University of Virginia, an MS in School Counseling from Johns Hopkins University, and a post-master’s certificate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University. She has experience counseling children and adolescents of all ages in school settings.
As Family Bereavement Services Manager, Liza oversees Full Circle’s Hands on Healing program for children ages 3-17 and their adult caregivers. It’s an honor for her to serve young people and their families as they grieve the loss of someone important to them. Especially passionate about normalizing the many emotions that accompany grief, Liza enjoys helping children develop tools to express and navigate their feelings. She also supports children in finding meaningful ways to carry their loved one with them as they write the next chapters of their lives.
When she’s not at Full Circle, Liza can usually be found somewhere outdoors with her family, listening to an audiobook, strength training, spending time with friends, or trying to figure out what to make for dinner.
