You don't need to have the right words or know exactly what kind of support you're looking for. Reaching out is a great first step.
If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, please call 911 or call/text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7. I'd still love to hear from you when things are less urgent, but this practice isn't set up for emergencies.

Questions people usually have
I don't provide medical care. Instead, I offer presence, planning, and steadiness. Day-to-day, my role can look like a lot of things, from sitting with someone during their final weeks, helping a family talk through what they actually want a vigil or memorial to feel like, recording someone's stories before they're gone, helping you ask the right questions. It's steadying, practical, and relational work, shaped around what a specific person and family need.
No. Some people I work with are actively dying, and others are further out. You could be facing a new diagnosis, caregiving, grieving in advance, or just thinking about what you want your own end of life to look like.
Possibly! I don't provide or replace therapy, so if your grief is too complex, I will refer you to professional, clinical help. Please schedule a free consultation, and we can discuss what's right for you.
I'm based in Western Wisconsin and see clients in person around Trempealeau county and the surrounding areas. Virtual support is available no matter where you're located.
Pricing depends on the kind of support you're looking for. My work isn't medical care, so it's not covered by health insurance. If cost is a concern, please tell me. I'd rather talk it through with you than have it be the reason you don't reach out. I can offer a sliding scale, so you can pay what you can to get the support you need. I accept cash, credit card, direct bank transfers (like PayPal or Venmo). I am also open to barters, payment plans, and other ways of working together.
Yes! What you share with me stays between us and anyone else you choose.
Hospice provides medical and clinical care (think nursing, pain management, etc.). I work with hospice — not instead of it — focusing on emotional, relational, and ritual side of things. Many of my clients have hospice and me, at the same time, doing different kinds of work to help you have a good quality of life, whatever that looks like to you.
Nope! I believe these passages deserve to be treated as meaningful, whatever meaning you give them. Whether you are religious, spiritual, secular, or something in between, you are seen and held here.
I am building this practice with women, nonbinary people, and the LGBTQ+ community in mind because I see how often these folks are overlooked or mishandled by conventional systems. That's where my focus is and where I want to keep it.
Low-key. We talk about what you're facing, and I explain how I work. I aim to let you know within 48 business hours whether I am the resource you need and how we can move forward. There is no obligation attached to the consultation and no pressure to choose my services.
That's totally normal and honestly the most common way people get here. You don't need to diagnose your own situation before contacting me. That's part of what the first conversation is for.
Then we say so, honestly. I'll help you find a better fit. This work only helps if it's actually helping.
Don't see your question here? Reach out. I'd love to talk with you directly.
Ongoing support that can look like regular visits, phone calls, or someone showing up at appointments so you're not alone in the room.
Individualized planning and presence for the active dying process, which can include comfort measures, sensory preferences, and sacred time after death.
Guided conversations and support that can look like recording someon'e stories before they're gone or writing a letter meant to be read after death.
Deeply personalized ceremony or ritual planning that actually reflect the life and legacy being honored.
Unhurried, unstructured space to just be in your grief (before or after a loss) because grief has no timeline.
Values-based conversations and guided support that help you pre-plan, because no one wants to be caught with their pants down during an emergency.
