I am deeply rooted in my Catholic faith, and I bring a prayerful presence to our conversations and time together. I have a special interest in exploring anticipatory grief, and a soft spot for people who are entering their final chapter alone.

I share, if invited, but I think it’s important for potential clients to know that my Catholic faith shapes my understanding of the human person, my reverence for each person I meet, and my prayerful approach to working with clients and families. Additionally, my experience of God is the source of my hope! As St. Therese of Liseux said- and I paraphrase - in dying, we really begin to LIVE.
