Services
I work with both the dying person and their loved ones, joining you whenever you feel ready to begin this part of your journey. Whether we connect months before the anticipated end of life or come together in preparation for vigil, we’ll shape our time in a way that honors your needs and rhythms.
You may choose from a variety of offerings, selecting the support that feels meaningful and helpful at each stage.
Many sessions can be conducted remotely over video calls. For in-person services, I work in the Upstate NY area & am open to travel.

“Life and death are a package deal. But we have overprofessionalized death and forgotten how natural it is. We have turned an intimate experience into a technological phenomenon. We have forgotten what we know: we can trust in our ability to do this, to accompany each other.”
