I’m an End-of-Life Doula and Companion Care provider offering compassionate, non-medical support to individuals and families navigating aging, caregiving, dying, death and grief.
I believe these experiences deserve honesty, compassion and space for the conversations that matter — and that no one should have to navigate them feeling unsupported.
My role isn’t to take over or tell you what this journey should look like. It’s to meet you where you are, offer practical and emotional support, and walk beside you through whatever comes next.

We don’t have to be afraid to talk about death.
We don’t have to be afraid to talk about death.
Talking about death doesn’t make it happen sooner.
It gives us the opportunity to understand what matters, make our wishes known, support the people we love, and live more intentionally while we’re here.

Care Rooted in Experience
Care Rooted in Experience
My background spans companion care, long-term care, healthcare and senior living — but some of my greatest lessons have come from simply being beside people and families during incredibly vulnerable moments.
This work is professional, but it is also deeply personal to me.
