Every life is a story, and every story ends.
The stories we tell about death shape how we live — and how we die. Most of us inherit stories that make death something to fear and avoid. My work is helping people write better ones.
I’m a sociologist, author, and end-of-life doula. I help people facing mortality — their own or someone they love — find language, meaning, and agency in the experience.
I bring compassion, experience, and genuine human presence, backed by academic and practical training, so you can feel comfortable working with me on the stories that can be hardest to face.
