​
I offer a free 30-minute consultation (by phone or Zoom) to discuss your needs and how I may be able to support you and your family. 

​Everyone deserves compassionate guidance on their end-of-life journey; therefore, if you decide to work with me, I offer my time in flexible bundles which can be used in ways that best support your needs (in-person visits, emails, phone calls). If the fees seem challenging, we can discuss options to make sure individuals have access to needed support.
