Holistic Approach to Grief, Loss, Death and Dying
for Individuals, Families and Workplaces
About Me
As a Certified Thanatologist, I provide compassionate, whole-person support to individuals and families navigating serious illness, life-limiting diagnoses, end-of-life planning, grief, and loss. My approach combines evidence-based knowledge with gentle, integrative practices to support the emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of the human experience.
I believe every person’s journey is unique. Whether you are living with serious illness, caring for a loved one, preparing for the end of life, or learning to live after loss, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and cared for.
With more than a decade of experience in end-of-life care, grief and bereavement support, and trauma-informed practice, I walk alongside individuals and families from diagnosis through caregiving, end-of-life planning, and beyond. I also support those experiencing many forms of grief, including the loss of a loved one, divorce and relationship endings, pregnancy and infant loss, and significant life transitions.
