As a practicing licensed individual and family therapist with 25 years of experience, and now as an end-of-life doula, I understand how illness and impending loss can impact us and those we love. It’s as if a massive curve ball has been thrown into our lives; upending relationships, robbing our dreams and plans, and forcing change we didn’t want and perhaps haven’t planned for.

I have experienced this both professionally and personally, and I have seen death and dying handled with compassion, support, and preparation, and witnessed the difficult losses that can happen without the guidance of someone to stand alongside us.

My unique approach of compassionate end-of-life care enhances individuals and their families ability to focus on what matters most with the time they have, and to establish relational harmony, connection, and meaning at a time when we need each other the most.

My mission is to transform the experience of death and dying for individuals and their loved ones by easing confusion and fear, and creating meaning, connection, and comfort. With gentle guidance, practical support, and compassionate presence, I join with my clients to ensure their most peaceful end-of-life journey.
