We as a society are not good at having these challenging conversations, even when it is apparent that the conversation must be had. You have many questions and together we can find answers that work for your peace of mind and spirit, your family, and your community.

She has a background in psychiatric social services, case management, skilled nursing administration, and 1:1 counseling. She has been active in social services since 1994 and has worked in the end-of-life space since 2007.
Consulting with patients, families, guardians and friends as they navigate end of life choices. Services include assisting with making choices for in home or residential care and hospice services. I am a fierce patient advocate and can help when families are separated by geography. Facing these decisions is stressful and I am here to help you navigate. |
Full Service End of Life Doula Services & Training From Meaning Making projects, family support, vigil planning and postmortem care, as well as grief support. As a certified death midwife, I can help create a peaceful, deeply person-centered experience at end of life. I will also train your non-medical staff on the doula model of caregiving. |
Psychospiritual Counseling 1:1 or with groups I work with folks in a 1:1 setting to process challenges surrounding loss of all kinds and how it affects an individual’s mental and spiritual health. I also facilitate groups in public spaces or businesses where loss has affected large swaths of an organization. Counseling is offered for non-grief challenges as well. |
Community Education Seminars and Creative Workshops Would folks in your community or facility benefit from educational opportunities about hospice care, recognizing grief in patients, caregiver stress/support and other related topics? I can create a meaningful presentation for your organization or community group. |
Services:
Sojourner Integrative Thanatology offers a wide range of services for individuals, families, providers and communities at large.
I companion individuals, families and groups through the challenges brought on by loss through terminal illness, death or non-death loss (divorce, going no-contact, job loss). I believe strongly that providing tools for healing and integrating losses will build more resilient individuals and communities.
