End-of-life support, grief counseling, and care coordination for individuals, families, children, loved ones, and communities, offered with the same relational, somatic presence I bring to my clinical work.
License #SWIA.SC.70040482
I am a licensed clinical social worker associate and death doula, trained in 2019 with Bodhi Be, Ram Dass, and others. I've walked alongside individuals, families, children, loved ones, and communities experiencing grief, loss, and profound transitions, as a death doula, hospice volunteer, and in private practice.
Because I hold both clinical mental health training and death doula training, I can offer grief counseling alongside practical end-of-life support, a combination that's often hard to find in one person. I provide in-home support locally in western Whatcom County and Maui County, and telehealth and phone support globally, for those navigating death and its threshold.
For those with a life-altering diagnosis, exploring hospice or palliative care, or already in the midst of dying, death, or grief.
