This journey belongs to you
Death and dying is one of the most sacred passages in any life and the choices made within it should reflect your values, your relationships, and your deepest wishes. I am here to make sure they do.
What working with me is like
No two end-of-life experiences are the same, and every approach to care is highly individualized. My role may include emotional and spiritual support, education around the dying process, helping to facilitate conversations and advance care planning, assisting with legacy projects, advocating for an individual’s wishes, supporting caregivers, or simply being a calm and grounded presence during an uncertain time.
The Process
Initial Consultation
We start with a free 20-minute call. This is a chance to talk about your situation, explore what kind of support might be helpful, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit. Anything shared during these sessions is confidential.
First Full Session
This first full session is up to 90 minutes long, in-person or over zoom. During this session, we’ll talk in-depth about you and your individual situation. I will guide you to uncover the most essential aspects of where you are and how the process should unfold. There are many aspects that we touch on that often surprise people - things that hadn’t come to mind before, details and logistics that escaped notice.
Ongoing Support
After the first session, we’ll decide together what will be most helpful for you as you move through your process. I am flexible in my approach to this and have scheduled sessions anywhere from two times per week to once every month to two months. Every situation calls for something different and I am well-versed in the nuance of figuring out what is needed.
