Death & Dying Counsel
Compassionate Companionship for Life’s Greatest Transition
In the profound moments that accompany death and transformative loss—whether you are facing your own mortality, grieving the loss of a loved one, or walking alongside someone in their final days—it can feel as though the ground beneath you is falling away. These moments call us to root into our hearts, confront the unknown, and find meaning amidst the great pain of impermanence.

Together, we can explore the fears, uncertainties, complexities, and curiosities that arise when death is near. Whether through heartfelt conversation, practical guidance, or rituals of remembrance, my role is to help you craft meaning from your experience with creativity, clarity, connection, and peace.
