Member Profile

My path to end-of-life work has been shaped by personal experience with caregiving, hospice, grief, and healing — including supporting my mother through hospice in 2000, walking alongside my father-in-law as my mother-in-law entered hospice care, and facing a serious illness of my own. These experiences taught me how meaningful it is to have someone present who can offer both compassionate support and clear information during uncertain times.

Through Holding Space, Bearing Witness, I support individuals and families as they navigate end-of-life experiences, difficult conversations, and important decisions with dignity, compassion, and respect. My background in hospitality, event planning, and communication — along with early volunteer work in assisted living and nursing home settings — shaped my ability to listen, anticipate needs, and stay present with people through life’s most profound transitions.

I believe there is no single right way to approach death, dying, caregiving, or grief. My role is not to lead the way, but to walk beside you.
