About me

As a Grief and Death Doula based in Buffalo, NY, I offer emotional and practical support to individuals and families navigating the end of life journey, including information and support for Medical Aid in Dying; helping them feel informed, heard, and at peace every step of the way. I also lead community lectures and educational sessions to help normalize conversations about death, dying, and grief: topics no one wants to talk about, but everyone eventually faces. Plot twist: talking about death won’t kill you and can actually help us live more fully!

More about me:

Black coffee is one of my greatest joys.
I am a musician and spent many years as a professional recording/performing/touring musician.
I was also a philosopher and research scientist. Yes, really! And I still love thought puzzles.
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 my husband and friends and family, especially over a great meal, is my favorite thing of all.
