About Me:

As a trained funeral celebrant and end-of-life planner, I help individuals bring clarity and certainty to decisions that matter most, including body disposition choices, funeral music and readings, celebration-of-life options, ash-scattering rituals, and the many ways a life can be remembered. With the aid of structured guides, we explore the practical, emotional, spiritual, and personal questions that shape end-of-life decisions . As a funeral celebrant, I also work with families to create personalized memorial services that honor their loved one.

I seek a deeper understanding of my own spirituality through practice with my Spiritual Director at Anam Cara Ministries, through a close relationship with my Unitarian Minister, and through my lifelong relationship with Catholicism.
