About me

I am a Death Doula and Grief Support Specialist based in Buffalo, NY, who provides emotional and practical support to individuals (and their families) on their end of life journey. I help clients experience comfort and peace during their end of life journey, while ensuring they feel informed, heard and supported every step of the way. In addition to one-on-one support, I give lectures and educational sessions in the community to help normalize talking about the things no one wants to talk about (but everyone goes through) like death, dying, and grief. Plot twist: talking about death can actually help us live life more fully.

• I am a lifelong pet/animal lover. I have four black cats named Vincent, Paul, Iris, and Mina. 

• Food, music, movies, and gardening are some of my greatest passions. 

• Spending time with friends and family, especially over a great meal, is my favorite thing of all.
