The first session is a working conversation where we talk through your circumstances and begin identifying what support might be most useful. Many people come with concerns that involve not only themselves, but also family members and loved ones, and we can take that broader context into account from the start.

We’ll discuss what’s happening now, what feels most pressing, and what you’re hoping for. I’ll explain how I work and suggest possible next steps, which may include a short-term plan or additional sessions, based on the priorities we identify together.

Services include:

• Helping create tailored end-of-life plans, including education on your options and rights, facilitating reflection on end-of-life preferences, and providing practical guidance on advance directives and documentation

• Empowering you to have essential discussions with loved ones and decision-makers to ensure your wishes are clearly communicated and respected

• Advocating for your wishes with your care team and others to ensure they are honored

• Supporting other preparations, such as “death cleaning” activities to help you share treasured belongings with loved ones while you’re still alive, enhancing emotional connection and reducing the burden on your family after you pass

• Personalized guidance through the Better Living Through Death Planning Workshop

• Offering coping strategies throughout your grief journey

Services include:

• Supporting creation of a personal legacy project that preserves your memory and provides comfort to your loved ones

Every situation is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t always fit the diverse needs of those I support. I offer flexible engagement structures tailored to your needs.

Depending on your circumstances, support may range from a single session to multiple sessions over time. I will work with you to determine the most appropriate engagement and fee structure, whether that’s on an hourly basis, as part of a session package, or a custom plan.

I offer a sliding scale for those with financial constraints.

I am not a licensed psychotherapist and do not offer clinical or therapeutic treatment, nor do I perform clinical or medical tasks.

I do not provide legal, financial, medical, or estate planning advice, nor do I make decisions for clients. My role is to support and help facilitate the wishes of the dying person and their loved ones before, during, and after death.

I am committed to supporting you in any way I can. If I’m unable to provide the appropriate assistance, I will gladly refer you to resources that can better meet your needs.
